What would really be nice to have available is a AA (14500) that is a 3.0v Lithium primary just like the CR123 but in a AA size. I know Lisun made them a few years ago but I haven't seen them for awhile.
well, keeping the DX example, a good charger (simple CC/CV charger that end at 4.2v, nothing else) can be found for 13$ free globe shipping. as is 2 slots only, 2 of them is still cheaper than a sony BCG-34HRMF i bought locally. even as this cheap, it can charge amazingly.Can't have all of them. A "good" Li-Ion charger is MUCH more expensive than a "good" NiMH charger, before you even get into the discharge/analyze features. A basic "good" Li-Ion charger that does nothing but charge like the Pila compares in price more to the much more feature rich Maha C9000.
i pointed a protected cell just because they already have a circuit on it (cheap, of course). obviously, when we imagine a circuit on battery to stepdown voltage, we imagine one that is capable of do a cut-off "decently". as aim a average Joe, i don´t consider everything that is cheap, a danger, cause everything i have is the cheapo version, and all works fine, including protection circuit in my trustfires from DXA reliable protection circuit that would be safe enough for the average Joe to use would not be the "cheapies" you point out on DX, but at AW price or higher.
yes, like everything that have li-ion on it. no matter if is a nokia cell phone, or sony laptopBut no matter how much protection you give them, if it fails, you don't have to worry about missing terminations, but missing fingers...

Code:LiCoO2 (lithium cobalt oxide) 3.7V LiMn2O4 (lithium manganese spinel oxide) 4.0V LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) 3.3V LiNiO2 (lithium nickel oxide) 3.6V Li2FePO4F (lithium iron fluorophosphate) 3.6V Li(NiCoMn)O2 (aka lithium NCM)(lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide) 3.7V Li2S8 (lithium sulphur) 2.1V NiCd (nickel-cadmium) 1.2V NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) 1.2V
well, "a few" for start... and a bunch of "warnings" in big font... like Ni-Zn "high voltage".. as they also can be dangerous... but they do not have the factor.now.. imagine these cells in the hands of a general "stupid" consumer, sticking these batteries in backwards, etc, etc. just how many layers of protection would you need for these cells?
... That is why mobile phones and laptops work without incidents, the manufacturer has full control over the battery packs used and can make sure the total solution is safe ...
sort of. my point is, even being a "dangerous" thing (li-ion with circuit to reduce to 1.5v) it wold be just "more" dangerous than what we have today. wold not be something "astronomical" dangerous.I see that you are arguing against yourself. It can still happen when the manufacturer have full control over both batteries and charger (and yes they will be recalled if they explode). It would be thousands of times more common with random chargers and random loose cells in them.
The chemistry determinse the voltage, and the various lithium recharchable chemistrys all have voltages in of over 3V. It's not somthing you can just arbitarily adjust and tweak the voltage up or down a bit.
Sorry for butting in. New to the forum
So are you saying, companies/manufactures design produces to the battery specifics
and not the other way round?>
