Cool
You know, your two pink chairs are beginning to seem like trademark liao.. so we all know it's JWYJ's

jwyj, i see you are using ultrafire batteries. To notify you, we just had a customer a few weeks back came to our shop to buy the AW18650, he said he recently bought ultrafire rechargeable 18650 battery and it exploded while charging, it was just inserted into the charger once he turn around it exploded. In fact lots of news about this online, do research on it.

Do take precaution wouldn't want to see anybody getting hurt. Same issues for trustfire too.

Nice collection by the way.

Their Ultrafire chargers seems to be OK

If you don't mind me asking, who are you then?

Oh sorry forgot to mention my name, i am Gwen or also known as Nie (This name was previously used at my old work place cause my old boss couldn't even remember my English name so some customers from there know me by this name ).

Would like to add Selamat Hari Raya to all. Do drive safely back kampung.

How about these blue ones that I got for free, some of which comes from the flashlights you sold. Better than the ultraS and trustS? 3 of them don't have "head".

Hi there Gwen I believe I've seen you at the store before. Have a good weekend.

Hi Gwen, just like to know, did the customer mention how the explosion like, in terms of which part of the battery exploded.

It could be the protected PCB at the bottom, or the battery tube/body, or the gas venting vented the valve, etc. Does it catch fire, or did it burnt the charger?

Because if the battery was exploded immediately after he start charge it, it could be the PCB that burnt, due to the wrap (short circuit), or the PCB or reversed putting in the battery.

BTW, did he use the protected or unprotected cell?

Anyway, using lithium battery is no joke, have to handle with extreme care, remember the famous explosion of a Pelikan is a su**fire lithium.

I am just conduction some research and findings, for the Myth of using Lithium Cell, so if you could feedback on this, it will help me a lot. Thanks.

She's Gwen la.

GW2U

GW <== self explanatory
2 is actually close to a 3 which means E in today's world
U in actually an upside down "n"

So, obviously GW2U = GW3n

I can't believe I'm going to post this. Lol.

jwyj, those batteries are fine but only thing the runtime will be shorter as compare to AW battery. We have sold many way before you bought them.

Lazyboy, yup you may have meet me, sometimes i will be at the shop too. There is 2 girls at shop sometimes (we both manage LYN), the fatter one is me.

susuman, nope he did not explain it in detail all the details are as above only. I know it was protected thou and the charger has no physical or internal damages, it exploded did not catch fire. Basically thats all the info we have.

polkiuj, u linked my name to gw2u, nice linking. Never even though/realise that before lol.

Sooooo jealous now....
Feel like ordering one but the wait....can kill....

oh yeah, if anyone wants to sell one tell me.
though i highly doubt it

I can't see any of your pic yet... noooo
anyway, im sure its sweet.

Hey bro, interesting notes and thanks for bringing this up I think the only way we can really find what happened was the end result of the explosion, how, what it looked like, reported by the user. I'm also wondering what charger he was using. Charging it backwards would cause the battery to heat up yes but I think the PCB would have kicked in... or maybe not.. so BOOM!

You know what I think.. The PCB is meant to stop the explosion, if the PCB pop, then this is clearly a catastrophic design failure. However, I think it's because of the separator that failed, also related to design I assume, but it was very common before. If you didn't know, corporations like Dell, Sony, Lenovo/IBM, toshiba, many more had mass recalling of their batteries few years back due to this type of behavior. Under circumstances, the cathode and anode pierce thru the separator, the battery can heat up in seconds before the PCB can take it.. BOOM! There's just so much quality issues with ultrafires, although many hasn't face any problems with them, but still. The manufacturer should seriously take action on their product.

Oh, looks like they changed the name of the LED to the exact one. Before it was a little general, there's a discussion here already if you wanna check it out. Some ppl think it's ugly, some like it... But I think it's cool too.
