Battery Question...

[State Of Zen]

Hey All. I just ordered the innokin SVD mod, batteries and a charger. I then read on a website that using anything other than a AW IMR high drain battery could damage mods. I didn't know this when I ordered, and now am worried I wasted money on the wrong type of battery. The mod takes a 18650 battery, so this is what I ordered: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1233700 . Did I order the wrong one (because it doesn't specifically say "AW IMR high drain")? If so, I'll place another order for a battery that spefically says that, just hate to waste the ones I ordered is all. Thanks.

those are fine.

A high drain battery will allow you do use lower resistance coils and draw more current from the battery without ruining it. I'm not sure how another battery could damage the device... That doesn't sound right... So yeah, what E_DeCastro said. Those are fine.

Depends on how many amps you are using. This battery has a discharge rate of 10 amps. That means you can go down to 0.42 ohms at 4.2 volts on your carto. I woildn't go down that far in ohms but you can according to the specs of the battery.

You can use this to find out how many amps you using.

those are fine.

I use those and THESE for all my REOs and also for my ITASTE 134

Someone's just trying to sell batteries!

As long as you're not trying to push extra low resistance coils at high voltages, you'll be fine!

If you're using standard gear, and not rebuilding your own, the juice will start tasting burnt before the battery gets stressed enough to even trigger the onboard circuit protection in that SVD

SVD has a 1.2Ohm limit anyways, so 10Amp panasonic batteries are absolutely perfectly safe for any coil you put on it.

Thank you to everyone that has answered this. I am picking up the same mod with the same batteries tomorrow. I look forward to some adjustability over my K101. I just use 1.5ohm coils so I am much relieved.

I purchased the same mod and batteries last night, along with a Nitecore I2 charger + car charging cable. Great deal.

Ordinarily, you WOULD want a high drain IMR battery for a regulated device like the Innokin SVD. To create higher voltage, the SVD's processor uses a boost circuit, and would require a high drain type battery to accomplish this. Some protected NCR batteries can't easily provide the high burst of energy like a high drain IMR can, so either the battery's protective circuit or the regulated mod's protective circuit might cut in and refuse to fire the atomizer.

Those Panasonics are a new hybrid type of battery, part protected and part high drain, from what I understand. From what I have read they should work fine in the SVD. I wouldn't recommend them for sub ohm vaping, but you wouldn't be using the SVD for that anyway.
