18650 Battery pack...Will I blow up ?

[H20doctor]

I want to run 8 of these in series 29.6 volts

in this custom made battery pack

to run a flashlight.... the ultrafire 18650 have an internal PCB inside the battery

1) I am only discharging the batteries to run the light
2) once drained the batteries will be recharged in a Li ion smart charger.... 2 at a time

I need to know if this is possible ....?

Hello H2Odoctor,

Thank goodness I won't Blow up cause the batteries and the charger cost me 80.00 .. Thank you candle power forum for the expert advise

another "+1, there is no danger at all"

but consider the initial voltage will be around 33.5 V
and that the circuits might not allow a high current draw (something about 2 A should be possible)
