Going with AW IMR16340

[andydho]

First off - great forum! I've learned a LOT in the past few days.

After much research I have decided on the IncenDio V3 for it's size/power. It also sounds like AW IMR16340 is the safest battery options out there, so that's what I plan to go with. A few question remains...

1. Do I need to worry about over charging/discharging the AW IMR16340? I think I read somewhere that over discharging will shorten the batter life.

2. Will the Nano charger work with AW IMR16340? I assume it will but just want to confirm. http://www.lighthound.com/Nano-Charger_p_1283.html

3. Any other caveats I should be aware of?

1. Do not discharge the IMR16340 below 2.5V. It's also a good idea to recharge the cell as soon as possible after use.

2. I've never used one of those, but I would think the nano charger should work fine. I use the Ultrafire WF-139 with half cell charging spacers from AW.

3. Get a cheap DMM so you can check battery voltage when necessary.

thanks, time to dust off that old Fluke.
