Batteries for REO Grand and Mini

[Marzuq]

Ok guys so I have come to experience what so many have with peeling batteries at the terminals. My 18650 efest batteries have cracked on both ends and are now a hazard in the making. What alternative is there to the efest battery and that will not crack and peel in this manner?

I realise this is a topic raised before but I for the life of me cannot find the thread.

Any assistance welcomed thanks

Can't you just re-wrap them?

I just buy new ones and throw away to avoid disaster

New ones are expensive just rewrap efest ones seem to crack from pulling them out a reo and charger.

Two videos on how to re-wrap here. Easy peasy.

You don't need to pull them out the Reo, it's simple.. hold the Reo in one hand --> slide the door off with your other hand --> gently clap/bump your hands together, with the Reo still in the same hand --> catch the battery in the palm of your other hand.

Hope I made some kind of sense explaining this.

Weird as I have had Efests and VTC's for well over 6 months and they still look like new.

@Alex i started doing it this way after you showed me that time a few months back. A much better way to get them out
