DaVinci IQ Series 18650 Battery
About DaVinci IQ Series 18650 Battery
The DaVinci IQ Series 18650 Battery is the official replacement and spare battery for the IQ, IQC, and IQ2. It's the same flat-top cell that ships inside those devices, so it drops in without any pairing or setup. It's built specifically for the IQ series and is not compatible with the IQ3, which uses the larger 21700 battery instead.

You Should Buy the IQ Series 18650 Battery If…
You should buy the DaVinci IQ Series 18650 Battery if you've broken or lost your main battery, or simply want to have a backup battery for quick swap-ins. Having an extra battery cell can literally double your session time without needing to charge your IQ series vaporizer.
How to Swap the Battery
The battery setups on the Davinci units are built for quick swaps, so no tools are needed.
Here is the step by step guide to swap in a new battery:
- Step 1: Power off the device and open the battery door(located at the bottom).
- Step 2: Slide out the depleted battery.
- Step 3: Slide the fresh 18650 battery into the bay, ensuring the polarity markings match.
- Step 4: Close the battery door and power the device back on.
Why the Flat-Top Spec Matters
DaVinci's IQ series devices technically accept any standard flat-top 18650, but we generally recommend getting the DaVinci-specific battery to avoid any issues. Button-top cells don't sit in the unit the same way, which can cause connection problems. Also, generic 18650s vary a lot in actual capacity, discharge curve, and internal resistance, even when the label says the same number. Buying the official battery sidesteps that guesswork and keeps your warranty coverage.
Getting the Most Out of a Charge
How long a charge lasts depends heavily on your heat settings, and the IQ series is known among regular users for running through a charge faster than some other portables, especially at higher temperatures. That's the practical case for keeping a second battery charged and ready rather than planning around a full recharge mid-day. Swapping to a fresh battery takes seconds, whereas waiting out a USB charge does not.
