SONY 2016 VTC battery will have warning mark on cell .
It is writen: DO NOT USE OUTSIDE OF BATTERY PACK .
Is this will affect people choose SONY VTC battey for single cell use?

Yes, the batteries will become self aware and enslave humanity because of that label :smiley:

Now that is what I call renewable energy!

:beer:

Well it might affect some people but not the BLFers for sure, its maybe a new regulation

its a CYA to shield them from lawsuits by idiots misusing them in pipe bombs crappy mech mods.

It’s because li-ions are not intended to be used as bare cells / without an attached protection circuit. Every manufacturer will tell you that protection is not optional.

Dr. Ruth (Westheimer) always told us to use protection.

Serious: big companies have much lawyers and know that preventive action is the best remedie against lawsuits.

It’s corporate “CYA” legalese; the cell is much as we’ve been using otherewise. The better cell manufacturers do not sell cells for individual use. Their intent is for them to be used only in products designed with proper charging and protection mechanisms built in. We simply take advantage of their awesomeness and availability in our own way, accepting the inherent risks as our own to deal with.

tl,dr: Don’t worry about it.

What SawMaster said, the cells are made for use in packs for cordless drills, saws, that type of thing. Sony doesn’t cell individual cells and so they are making the effort to protect themselves from the vape-gone-wrong mis-use of their product.

translation:some idiot blew one up in his face and tried to sue.

I don’t want to get in trouble with Sony. I’m going back to zinc copper technology.
It was nice knowing all of you.

Hey!! I can’t see anything !!!

Ouch! Some dim wittiness?

Oh no, not at all. Comedy is frowned upon in this forum.

At least any patents ran out 200 years ago LOL.
And you can make with a lemon and common coins.
Just hard to adapt to the 18650 format

How can you power your beacon light in your life raft in the middle of the ocean with no batteries, a lemon, and some coins ?

How can you charge up a battery with a lemon and some coins ?

Look up voltaic pile

I prefer Atomic piles for powering my lights, although that makes it tough to discover a burned-out emitter. It also takes some major heat-sinking mods too :smiley:
