Are these batteries protected?

Protected from what? These are high intensity batteries and the flashlight gets hot from the batteries. If I had the flashlight on for any length of time it would become uncomfortable to hold. So I assume if you need this weird size battery, because of it's high intensity, will heat up whatever you put them in.

These batteries have no memory as stated by the company, and can be kept on the charger. In addition, when I received the batteries I placed the batteries in the charger and the green light came on. Then placed the batteries on the wall for charging and the light turned red and left for several hours and upon checking the charging the light turned green for a full charge. This was the instruction given with the charger.

I bought two sets of these and one of the batteries I was sent started smoking and sparks were shooting out when I went to charge it. The other 3 batteries were fine but this one battery could has easily started a fire in my house if it was left charging!

I just got these, so I have tests to run, just need to find the time with kids and all. I'm still on the first one of two in my torch. It heats up to a warm temperature, nothing dramatic though. When I first charged them in the charger, the led glowed the same color, I believe it was green, the entire time. So I wasn't sure if and when they were fully charged, but I charged them over night and as I stated, the first one has worked fine so far. I'll update about any possible confirmation of circuit protection as soon as I can.

These batteries are in a dial-around package. No problems getting them out.

Just what do you mean when asking if "the batteries are protected">? I have bought over 12 of these flashlights as gifts and for my home, car, etc and never had a problem with the flashlights or batteries.

If you are referring to a case and in plastic then yes they are protected. I received mine on time and haven't had any problems so far.

Yes. My two units came with batteries enclosed. Be sure to always use the enclosed charger.

Yes. But if I recall correctly, they either come separately packaged or you have to remove a plastic film, which separates the batteries from its contacts, in order for it to work.

After watching the video you sent, the answer is, yes they are protected. I had never heard of such a thing. Thanks for making me a little wiser.

Good question. Mine were black and protected for sure (slightly longer) than any of my non protected green label batteries.

No these batteries are Primary (non-rechargeable). For more general info, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_cell

I guess they are I found that the battery r us stores were over charging for these batteries and decided to try ordering them from amazon. Glad I did.

You can have connections to the "unprotected" side of the battery. Just keep them to a minimum as a large load can discharge the battery and the Battery Protector can not disconnect them to save the battery.

Yes, but they are 'demonstration' batteries, and won't last. (Even though mine seemed to...) I'm sure those batteries are available through Amazon.

What is not in the description is that these batteries are protected. In my vape I can't use them since I run sub ohm coils. And the batteries don't fit in my itaste vrt. To tall with the button top. The charger works perfect and the batteries last a long time when I use an atomizer that has a 1.2ohm or higher coil.

Generally if the seller doesn't claim that it is "protected", you can be quite sure it is NOT. To protect, they have to add a protector disk, typically at the bottom of the battery; and connect the + & - terminals to the protection circuit. As such the battery will cost more than the same battery without protection. So check the title & description, you should be able to decide if it is protected or not.

I am presently out of town and unable to look at the ones I have. I have never had a problem. They are always well charged and quite btrght when darkness falls. I will be home the end of the first week in Feb and would be happy to check and see if the batteries are replaceable. Off hand I think they may not be, I recall they are well sealed.

No they're not, that's why I was skeptical myself, but I've already used them for several photo shoots; they totally work as long as my old batteries whatever the brand name is. But yeah they're not canon.

Yes. Great batteries, low cost. Come with a charger and two spare batteries.
