Can anyone recommend a quality 18650 cell to replace the Muyshondt 18650 Power Cell? I plan to use it in a MK.1 Flieger that I just received from a fellow forum user. It seems like Muyshondt jacks up the price on their 18650 just because of brand recognition. I don't see any reason to spend extra for a fancy label. Unless I am mistaken ... I dunno. The specs list it as a 3400 mAh, protected cell battery. I don't know much about protected cell circuitry, so if anyone has any knowledge on the subject, please do let me know. All I can gather is that it has something to do with keeping accidents like overcharging and shorting from happening. Sounds fairly important, but again I don't have much experience here. I heard that it can be a double edged sword as well. Supposedly, a non-protected cell takes longer to discharge when not in use, for instance.
Also, I have no idea what type of charger I should buy, so if there are any ideas out there I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
