Its massive with an 18650 haha. I like it in 18350 mode, nice size, the other battery was just a back up so iv always a fully charged one waiting

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

I only stacked it after what the vendor said, i didn't plan on using it like that i was just curious as to the safety of doing so

In a word DONT

Might be worth having an other word with your Vendor just to enlighten them and save any potential problems for them in the future.

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.

I wouldnt like to say either way tbh. I was quite excited about the janty mid when they announced it, but as that uses 2 stacked batteries it put me right off.

The pcb will only protect the voltage or amperage going into it or through it, the mismatched battery ( good cell,bad cell) scenario all happens before it reaches the pcb so im scepticale as to how much protection the pcb gives in that instance.

I think ill see if I can return it,i haven't used it yet.They sent it without the Fire button for a start,then when I received the Fire button,the Azteca would,nt work as 1 of the 2 batterys was flat.Just been a carry on from the start.Poor service for my first order from this Vendor.Now this battery stalking has me worried.I e-mailed them about stacking batterys and they said it would be fine as the PCB can handle it,Mmmmmm

Totally your call romney, i might be wrong but i'll never like stacked batteries whatever safeguards manufacturers put in the device.

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
