    Hi. I have a disposable cigarette and as you know, it used up quickly. I took it apart and saw a battery unknown to me. Disposable E-Cigarette Charging: Battery Type & Compatible Chargers
    Do you know what type of battery it is and what charger can it be charged with?
    Thanks for your help and best regards

    It's a lithium-ion battery, something like that link

    Charge only with a li-ion/po battery charger

    Improper handling of such a cheap and poor-quality battery may cause it to explode or catch fire.

    In colloquial language, a battery is a disposable cell that throws away when exhausted, so such a battery is not charged.
    The picture shows a lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery, which can be charged with a ready-made charger for batteries in cylindrical housings (you have to fiddle with connecting to the battery socket) or buy a charger with the TP4056 chip sold in stores, mail-order stores and auction sites for PLN 5 . The charger has a micro USB socket to which the phone's power supply is connected (pot. charger and nobody minds that the charger is connected to the charger, so we have a square charger?) And on the edge of the board there are soldering pads to which you can solder wires coming from battery or some additional device used to connect the battery to the charger² for the duration of charging.
    The TP4056 chip can charge the battery with one of several selectable currents. The author should check it in the documentation of the TP4056 chip. There is even a lead for connecting a thermistor measuring the temperature of the charged battery, but it may not be used on the board.
    The battery should be charged with a maximum current of 1C or 500mA (capacity 550mAh).

    With this, I would be careful, look at the link with the parameters of the identical Chinese, Max charging current 275mA or 0.5C Standard current 110mA

    Yes, after limiting the charging current. You will change one resistor on the board.

    From what I see, all boards have a max charge of 1A. So I'm going to have to change something to make it land less, right? Are there any ready-made plates to match this battery?

    And I have another question, could I replace this battery with a 18650 battery? I think it will be too big for my e-cigarette but it will be easier to use.

    Certainly it will be too big in terms of dimensions, the dimensions are included in the "name" 13400 is 13x40mm. 18650 is 18x65mm 18650 are popular so it's easier and cheaper to convert a cigarette into such cells.

    Just why mess around as for PLN 80 you can have a Cinderella with a USB charging port

    Look for the "TP4056.pdf" documentation. Everything is described there.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around identifying the battery type in a disposable e-cigarette and the appropriate charging methods. Participants confirm that the battery is likely a lithium-ion or lithium-polymer type, which can be charged using a dedicated li-ion charger or a TP4056 module. Caution is advised due to the potential hazards of improper charging, such as fire or explosion. The author inquires about using a specific charger and the feasibility of replacing the existing battery with a larger 18650 battery, which is deemed too large for the device. Suggestions include modifying the charging current and referring to the TP4056 documentation for detailed specifications.
