Okay, so I wasn't really sure how to go about searching for this, and if you know, please post the link. Thanks.
I have two lights that I run a single 18650 cell in. To be specific, . . .Ultrafire LC 18650 2400mAh 3.7V.
I have read some of the "exploding battery" threads and I am wanting to keep from that [obviously]. Is it just what you must accept by using these types of rechargable cells, or are some "more safe" than others? Is it best to leave them either out of the tube or the contacts unscrewed enough that the light won't come on, or can they explode anyway?
Also, I was asking about RCR123 cells as well on another thread, but the same question applies. Tenergy or Nitecore.
I like the idea of using the rechargables for the obvious savings over lithiums.
Thanks for your replies.
