PRI; can this mean anything other than Primary?

[sir_guy123]

I'm looking to buy some 14500's and I've seen some that are labelled as 'rechargeable' but on the side of the cell is printed 'PRI'. I'm worried that these could be primary's and therefore not rechargeable, the seller seems to have good feedback, am I worrying unnecessarily?

Look at the chemistry, there are some LiSOCl2 14500's, which are primaries.

Yeah, "14500" is used to describe most lithium, or lithium-ion "AA" size cells. There are several different chemistries of each primary (non rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable Li-Ion) cells. Make sure you know the exact chemistry, before buying cells.
