Torchy on ebay?

[sleedale]

Thanks ronaldo I'll be keeping them either as spares or extras I think. But ordering a couple of those panasonics for the VTR.
So I know, why does it need unprotected batteries? What's the difference between protected and unprotected.....apart from protection! I mean, what does protection mean/do and why don't I need it for the VTR? Don't understand this electrickery stuff, hence I'll never, ever get a mech mod.....I'd blow myself up

Hey look ronaldo found this on eBay

Camping light

First one I found

or this

the easy answer is because you are already protected by the circuit board in the mod
if the mod has a circuit board you need unprotected
no circuit board you need protected
a protected battery has a circuit board built in
and two circuit boards cause confusion

Hang on a bit ronaldo I'll do a bit more googling, might come up with better, nearer or cheaper

edit

scrap that, can't find anything nearer or cheaper that doesn't use D cell batteries!

[ronaldo]

I will order three as I have some laptop 18650 batteries that will work great in these

ronaldo will be OK, but those camping lights could cause over-discharge with unprotected batteries, could easily put a protection circuit in them to cut out at 3V.

I saw some cheap micro USB charging boards with a protected out which would be great for most people, IIRC Cousin Itt posted them a while back.

good idea I will try and do a search for them as it might save some time and I will be able to check them out in case anyone else wants to do it

Some of these they seem to cut off at 2.5 V or > 3 A, not all in the list are the same.  But the post on here linke to a review where the gut did some sensible testing.
