⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star review: Simple, solid and attractive 21700 Mod Í was using another 21700 mod (Vaporesso Target 100) which was also very good but had a trapdoor style mechanism for the battery which became dangerously loose after 6 months or so. This mod has a more robust mechanism for the battery door which I can see lasting much longer as it slides out from the bottom. The mod looks sleek in navy blue and build quality is excellent as I often find with Aspire mods. Only minor gripe is that I can't see the paint lasting too long as I already have a couple of scratches from keys in my pocket but this is the case with most mods I have owned. One important thing is that if you are using a 21700 battery then make sure it isn't too thick as it could get stuck. I had two older 21700's which are too large and I mistakenly tried to fit one of them into the mod. The battery got stuck and it took me some time for me to get it safely out of the mod. Luckily I got a free Molicel 21700 battery with the mod that fits perfectly and which I should have tried first. All in all an excellent mod for money just be careful with fatter 21700 batteries and stick to the free Molicel.

5 Tips to Extend the Lithium-Ion Battery Life

In case you've got a lithium-ion battery, then you may want to search for ways to prolong its life. In this guide, we're going to speak about a few methods of accomplishing this goal. These days, battery lifetime is of utmost importance, particularly in regards to cellular phones. Given below are a couple methods of prolonging the lifespan of your battery package.

1: Consider the Room Temperature Limits

Ideally, your space temperature must be 25 degrees maximum. In case your lithium battery is completely charged and exposed to a high fever, problems can occur. Thus, what you have to do is prevent leaving your battery in your car or truck when you've parked it at sunlight. As a matter of fact, heat is your number one factor which may decrease the life span of your lithium ion battery.

2: Get a High-Capacity Pack

With the passing of time, batteries have a tendency to deteriorate if you use them or not. For that reason, it's important to remember that using a spare battery isn't a fantastic idea. Your spare battery will not offer you more energy than the one you're using.

Thus, be certain to realize the aging feature prior to purchasing a lithium ion battery. It is far better to purchase a pack that is recently manufactured. Another means is to elect for a higher-capacity battery.

3: Allow Partial Discharges

NiCad batteries have a charge memory although the lithium ion batteries don't. This signifies is that you don't require deep-discharge cycles. As a matter of fact, it is better if the battery uses partial-discharge cycles.

But, there's an exception too. In accordance with battery specialists, you should fully discharge a battery after 30 charges. In fact, what happens is that constant partial discharges result in a problem called digital memory, which decreases the validity of the energy gauge of the gadget. For this reason, you may want to permit the battery to release and then place it on charge. This procedure will recalibrate the energy estimate.

4: Don't Discharge it Fully

If you release a lithium-ion battery under 2.5 liter, the built-in security circuit opens to halt the circulation of charge. Because of this, the battery seems like it doesn't have any charge. In cases like this, you can not use the charger. In cases like this, you want to use a battery analyzer that has the increase function to recharge the device.

Besides that, it is not a fantastic idea to recharge deeply discharged device in case you've saved it for quite a while like a few months.

5: Store in a cool location in 40% fee

I had an extra battery for my notebook but it would not do better than the original battery. The main reason is that the battery has been saved fully charged. In cases like this, the oxidation rate of this battery was in its peak. It is far better to keep this kind of battery in 40% release in a fridge.

The Takeaway

Lithium-ion batteries are a lot better than other kinds of batteries. It's possible to enjoy 500 control or release cycles having this kind of battery package. Ensure to follow the suggestions given above.

An Intro About Power Tool Batteries

Cordless power tools may be heavier than corded ones but the extra mobility afforded is important for both homeowners and professional craftsmen alike. Advancements in battery technology have made cordless power tools as powerful as corded ones. Packing more power into the same volume of battery definitely extends how long your tool can be used away from the mains and what sort of work it can do. Therefore, the cardinal aims of battery manufacturers are making batteries that run longer, provide more power and weigh less. Find out best Battery by clicking on Molicel 18650 P26A.

Nickel Cadmium batteries came with the first cordless power tools but were surpassed by the efficiency of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. Lately, the battery technology in most new tools has been Lithium Ion. Lithium Ion batteries pack more capacities and can, therefore, last longer between recharges. This makes them perfect for those who work for some considerable time with their tools because increasing time taken before needing to pop out the battery means working with your tools longer. In addition, Lithium Ion batteries do not show the charging peculiarities of Nickel-based batteries. You do not need to babysit the charging process. You can just set it to charge and go without needing to worry about damage from overcharging or incomplete discharges.

Yet another advantage of Lithium Ion batteries for power tool is that it is lighter than the Nickel-based batteries. Lithium Ion batteries have high energy densities which means they pack more charges per any given volume. Lastly, Lithium Ion batteries are easier to make in different sizes and shapes which is why some manufacturers now put them into the handles of the tools to save space and provide balanced hefts.

However, Lithium Ion batteries have their demerits too. For one, placing them in the handles of power tools means that to replace a battery you will need to send the whole power tool back to the manufacturer or have it shipped to repair centers. In addition, except you plan on buying new power tools, there are few Lithium Ion batteries fitted to go in your old models.

Therefore, the first step in buying a replacement battery for your power tool is finding an exact fit with the same power ratings. It is not necessary to buy a replacement battery from the same manufacturer just as long as you can guarantee the quality of the replacement. However, where the old battery served well, it is advisable to buy the same as a replacement if you can find it. You can either take the old battery along when looking for replacements or note down the model number on its casing.

Batteries are rated by their voltages and capacities. Therefore, expect to know what volts and ampere-hours the replacement battery you intend to buy are rated in. Of these two, ampere-hours is more important since it determines how long the battery will last. However, the higher the voltage and ampere-hour of a battery, the longer and stronger the power tool will perform. Batteries usually come in ampere-hours of 1.4, 2.4 and 3.0 amp/hr ratings. You can find these written on the battery itself.

Another consideration to have when choosing a replacement battery is the charging time. It is impractical to have a cordless power tool that needs to be charged after every hour of use and that takes long to charge. The advice is to go for a battery that last longer in use and that charges faster so that it can be re-used as soon as possible.

You can buy your replacement battery at a dedicated tools shop or from online stores. Online, you can order from the websites dedicated to homeowners and professional users. Here, you will find a broader range of batteries to choose from and at more favorable prices. Some buyers prefer to buy from the big brands in the market e.g. Makita, Bosch etc. Generally, batteries from these manufacturers are known to perform well but they may also be more expensive. You should consider shopping for batteries that are rated high by previous buyers and users like you regardless of what brands they are just as long as you are sure the batteries are the right fit for your power tools.

If you have ever found yourself needing, or anticipate needing in the future, any of the following:

Jump start a car

Recharge or Power:

cell phone

music player or iPod

computer

electric tools

tire inflator/ air compressor

emergency heater

radio (incl. weather, emergency communications, am/ fm/satellite)

vacuum

any 120 volt appliance

GPS

oxygen concentrator

defibrillator

then a battery jump starter is definitely a 'must have'. This is just a partial list of the possible uses for a battery jump starter. One or more of these uses may one day prove to be more than just a convenience, and could help save a life - YOUR life... or the life of a precious family member. There are many of us who would want one or more of these possible benefits. Yet, in purchasing this type of device, most potential buyers are unaware of the features, benefits and limitations of a battery booster.

Some things that need to be taken into consideration when purchasing a battery jump starter are:

Capacity (power output, resistance to effects of heat and cold on durability and output, weight, relative safety)

Internal chargers which protect from overcharging.

An alert that warns you of reverse connection hazards and protects a battery from overcharging or undercharged conditions

Multiple voltage output voltages. They can provide power in 5, 12, or 24 volts without the need for adapters.

Internal air compressors

Inverters to provide 120 volt power (some of these have up to three 120 volt outputs)

Include work lights, emergency lights or both

Ideally, seller integrity, warranty/return policy, and support should drive your decision in buying a battery jump starter, then power requirements, followed by features. Also important are convenience, shipping costs and/or delays if not in stock or buying online. A product other than the most popular brand can often be a great value (brand name is not everything).

The biggest mistakes in buying a jump starter can turn out to be:

Not getting enough power to start the auto battery in their current vehicle (most buyers choose less power capacity than will serve them best)

Not buying a unit with features which greatly enhance the use of the product (heavy duty 4 gauge cables, longer cables, heavy duty clamps, automatic charging, air compressor)

Not immediately checking the internal battery's capacity to confirm it will provide how much current for how long, and its recharge characteristics.

The batteries used in battery jump starters are often sealed lead acid or gel cell batteries. These batteries are able to provide power for either short term high load requirements or lower demand over longer periods of time. These batteries prefer a slow to medium charge rate and to remain fully charged. They may be smaller in size and lighter in weight, than the battery that powers your car, which makes them a better choice for a portable jump starting use.

Before using any battery jump starter, you can increase the likelihood of a successful result by making certain that the connections at the battery are clean and free of oil or corrosion. Ideally if corrosion is present, the battery connections should be taken apart, cleaned thoroughly and a protective coating applied. Commercial products are readily available. Baking Soda added to a small amount of water may be applied to the corrosion present at battery connections to increase current available for starting the vehicle. In an emergency, some drivers report using various liquids to temporarily increase battery performance for starting, including Pepsi Cola or even water with a little salt in it.

When using a battery jump starter, it is recommended that you connect the jumper to the positive terminal on your car battery first and then to the negative terminal. After use, disconnect in the reverse order (i.e. remove negative clamp first, then the positive clamp). This helps reduce the chance of unwanted sparks, and is therefore safer.

By some estimates over 50% of car problems are battery related. Battery mis-use accounts for a high percentage of battery failure. Lead acid batteries are best stored at approximately 60 deg F fully charged. Other types of batteries are ideally stored under different conditions. All batteries perform best at moderate temperatures. When an average car battery is not kept fully charged poorer performance and shortened battery life often result. The electrolyte in an under charged lead acid battery may actually experience changes in the acid concentration levels within the cells. This causes an increased likelihood of sulfating of the cells, also causing lower performance and shortened battery life. Sulfation can be reduced or prevented by regular charging to a fully charged state and physical movement of the battery, and the electrolyte within. It is common for a vehicle to be driven a short distance during which time the alternator may not fully charge the vehicle's battery. A driver may not notice the problem if the battery retains enough charge after remaining parked for some period of time, to start the vehicle. The more power options a vehicle has, the more likely the alternator may not fully charge the battery during short trip driving. Batteries do eventually wear out, but proper maintenance is essential to ensure your battery lasts the maximum time possible. If you are unsure of the present condition of your car battery, your mechanic will be able to quickly check your car battery's efficiency.
