How to use electronic cigarette batteries?
Many electronic cigarette players do not know how to choose batteries. More models on the market are 18650 batteries. But is 18650 battery suitable for all devices? Here we will explain how to choose an electronic cigarette battery.
What is an 18650 battery?
18650 battery is the pioneer of lithium-ion batteries. It is a standard lithium-ion battery model set by Sony Corporation in Japan to save costs. The number 18 represents a diameter of 18 millimeters, the number 65 represents a length of 65 millimeters, and the number 0 represents fully charged. The capacity is generally between 1200mAh and 3600mAh.
There are three types of
18650 batteries: IMR batteries (including ICR batteries used for circuit protection) and hybrid batteries.
IMR battery, also known as lithium manganese oxide (LI MN) battery, is a safer battery that can be used in electronic cigarettes. Due to the use of safe chemical materials, IMR batteries do not require circuit protection and can withstand pressure and impact.
How to choose electronic cigarette batteries?
1. Discard unprotected ICR batteries! When the protection circuit of the ICR battery fails, the chemical reaction that occurs when the ICR battery leaks can cause a fire or even an explosion.
2. Use appropriate batteries! In short, if an atomizer with less than 1 ohm is required, a battery with a discharge current greater than 10 amperes must be used.
3. Refuse non branded batteries! Not to mention, do you dare to use non branded batteries? Discharge capacity and battery capacity are two important parameters to consider when selecting a battery. For these two types of batteries, Joker personally prefers Sony C5A and C6, which are economical and efficient products, and the mechanical rod of the pressure regulating box is correct.

4. Use high-quality chargers! In short, it is recommended that you purchase an affordable and more expensive charger. The data shows that all such battery accidents occur during the charging process. Lithium batteries are not afraid of use and charging, but they are afraid of overcharging and overdischarging.
Overcharging refers to overcharging, which includes charging current higher than the battery load range and charging time longer than the battery's full charge time. This is called 'overcharging'. 'Over discharge' refers to over discharge. It also includes two aspects, one is that the discharge current exceeds the load range of the battery, that is, "overload", and the other is that the battery continues to discharge when it is exhausted, and then the battery is scrapped.
What if the battery is not selected?
If a faulty battery is used, the battery pressure will be too high when the continuous current of the battery is too low and the output current exceeds the standard during use. Excessive battery pressure and heat generation may damage the steel casing of the battery, especially the interior of the battery. Internal materials react with substances in the air, producing a large amount of gas. When there is enough gas and the pressure is high enough, it will expand the wall of the mechanical rod and cause an explosion accident, so the battery must be carefully selected.
