FAQs
How long does it take to charge?
Charging time varies depending on the power source. Using a standard 5V USB adapter, charging will be limited by the battery's internal 1A limit. A full charge from empty typically takes several hours. Using a dedicated lithium charger may offer faster charging if it supports the appropriate current (up to 2.6A).
Is the Micro USB cable included?
No, the Micro USB charging cable is not included with the battery.
Why is this battery longer than others?
This battery features an integrated safety board for protection against overload, short circuit, and deep discharge. This board adds approximately 3-4mm to its length compared to unprotected 18650 batteries.
Can I use this in my vape or e-cigarette?
This battery is listed as suitable for e-cigarettes. However, always ensure your device's specifications are compatible with an 18650 Li-Ion battery and its voltage/capacity.
What is the warranty period?
The battery comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Can I use a standard 18650 charger with this battery?
Yes, you can use a compatible lithium battery charger. Ensure the charger is designed for 18650 Li-Ion batteries and has appropriate safety features. The integrated USB port provides an alternative charging method.
What is the difference between this and a standard 18650 battery?
The primary differences are the integrated Micro USB charging port, the built-in safety board, and the slightly longer physical dimensions. Standard 18650 batteries typically require an external charger and may lack integrated protection circuits.
Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Ensure the Micro USB cable is securely connected to both the battery and a functional power source. Try a different Micro USB cable and power source. Clean the Micro USB port on the battery.
Device not powering on
Verify the battery is correctly inserted in the device. Check if the battery is fully charged by observing the LED indicator. Ensure the device is compatible with 18650 Li-Ion batteries and their dimensions.
Battery drains quickly
Ensure the device is not in standby mode if not necessary. Check for any damage to the battery or device. Continuous high-drain usage will naturally reduce runtime compared to low-drain applications.
LED indicator not working
While the battery may still charge, a non-functional LED might indicate an internal issue. Try charging and check if the device powers on to confirm functionality. Contact customer support if issues persist.
