battery stacking??

[gazd]

Hi all,

I bought another 18350 battery today and stacking that one with my other identical battery in my k100 works, it is abit "aggresive" though. The iclear30s definitely pops and hisses more than with one battery. My question is, is it safe to stack them? Or atleast as safe as using one. TIA, Gaz

In my opinion it's not safe to stack especially stacking a new battery with one that's already been used!

dont recomend stacking personally both batteries need to match and if one is slightly iffy....

plus on a fresh charge you are looking at 8 volts into your atty which may not do it that good

Stacking batteries is a big no no imo. If one cell is good and the other is not so good, your forcing the good cell to make up for the not so good one and possibly overloading it.

The only exploding ecig scenarios ive read about all involve stacked batteries. Buy an 18650 vv/vw device if you want more umphh..

I bought it as a back up, it was the fella in the shop that told me to stack them.. Not such good advice then. Thanks all

Surely it is even more so with 2 stacked 18350s  ... ie: 70mm against the 65mm of an 18650 battery  ???

Hi all,just reading the post.It got me a bit worried,as I just bought an Azteca RSV,and I got two 16340 batterys with it.I contacted the Vendor and asked if stacking the battery,s was ok,as I read before it was,nt the best idea.And they said with the Azteca it was ok to stack,and they said yes it was ok,as it had a PCB in it.Is this correct?? Reading all your reply has me worried again.
