Title: Batteries, where to buy?
Post by: 4D on Monday, September 20, 2021, 08:31:28
I'm after some 18650 button top rechargeable batteries. I bought some online and they turned out to be 2mm too long  :doh:
The 18650 stands for 18mm wide and 65mm long, they are like chunkier AA batteries.
I'd like to be able to buy some in town but can't find any.
Any help appreciated.

As Batch has said, a vape shop should have them. The Puffin Hit has online stock if you don't want to visit them in person

Thanks all. The vape ones seem to mostly be 'flat positive' and I need rechargeable button top ones (this is for a solar powered security camera).

They've probably got a cell protection circuit on them. You can remove them, if you're careful. But then again, you don't want to go messing with batteries...
