I searched this and found a couple of threads, but they are old (want to avoid necroposting) and they don't exactly address the question at hand.
I have some 10440 Trustfire "600mAh" Li-ion cells (3.7V), the cells are protected. Is it safe to run a pair of these in parallel? The laser's current draw will not exceed 200mA, and the cells will always been charged separately, never together or as a battery pack.
I'm asking because I would like to replace two AAA batteries in series (3.0 volts) with two 10440 cells in parallel (3.7 volts), for double the mAh. It should be easy enough to make a battery holder that connects the cells in parallel while allowing them to fit in the host and properly connect to the laser circuitry.
