I love the 14500 except for its footgun shape. 6 x 14500 is at least 21 volts, which won't play nice with a device that wanted 9 volts. I used to try to keep the 14500s far away from the AAs, but there's no stopping a kid in a hurry who wants to play with a toy or musical instrument.
- Pxtl 9mo agoI've taken the approach of electrical-taping my USB-chargeable 14500s each to a dummy-battery, since the things I put them in have 2 adjacent slots for series AAs. The voltage is still high (3.somethingV instead of 3V) but they seem to work.
- Dylan16807 9mo agoAre those LiFePO4 batteries that cap around 3.6V, or normal lithium ion that cap around 4.2V? I'd be cautious with either kind but especially with the latter.
- Pxtl 9mo agoThey say 3.7v, so probably the wrong kind.
- sowbug 9mo agoThat's smart. It's not perfect, as you say, but at least it's trying to play nicely with the other kids.
