18650 Batteries

[Katfish]

Apologies if this has been done before but.................
In recent weeks I have bought 8 trustfire 18650 batteries for my Don and Graham's Silver Bullet. 3 of these batteries have died after only 4-5 recharges >
Please could someone in the know point us to some more reliable batts and their source? Thanks in advance

AW IMR are about the best make but they cost much more than other batteries - worth the money though since they are high drain.
Make sure you have a decent charger too though not a really cheap one since these batteries have no protection circuit.
You can get the protected AW's as well if you feel you want protected batteries.
I plan to replace all my Ultrafire and Trustfire batteries with time.

Lisa over at Cloud9Vaping has them.

I bought mine from Liberty Flights and they have been great.

I've been using them for a couple of months now with no problems at all. I also bought one of their rechargers. Its a TrustFire TR-001. Perhaps you have a faulty charger?

Thank you Verey! I don't mind paying more if they last!

[Katfish]

Thank you Steve, I may need a better charger, because some of the batts came from there.

I can vouch for these, had mine a while with no problems.

I've had the same as you with 18650 batteries Kat . . . so I've swapped to the AW's from Ledfire on all my 18650 mods, bit more expensive but worth it I've decided after wasting money on cheaper Trustfires etc.

Discount code CPF8 for an 8% discount.

Would I be able to charge these in the TR-001 still?

[Perpetua]

You will Steve, that's what I use.

Thanks for the link and code. I will get a couple of those next time.

[Perpetua]

My pleasure Steve.

Ledfire also deliver really quickly I've found, last lot I ordered midday on a Thursday, they arrived the very next day.

It's free shipping as well for orders over £30, so 3 batteries and you've carriage paid.

A problem shared is a problem halved, in this case solved, many thanks !
