Panasonic3400mAh for REO Grand?

[Jorunkun]

Does anybody here use the new EagleTac (Panasonic) 18650 Li-ion 3400mAh batteries, or know whether they are good and safe to use in a REO Grand?

Thanks in advance.

I found this as spec on one site

High discharge rate 4A-5A

They don't list other ratings but if it is limited to 5A then its not good for lower ohm coils, a .8 ohm coils pulls 5.25 amps.

I believe the 2900mah version allows for a 10A continuous discharge. From the answers I got from asking a similar question the 2900mah version would work well but it may be a bit too long, the REO was designed around an AW IMR18650 button top.

No the Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh has a 6.8A max discharge, as long as to OP remains above a 1 ohm resistance there'll be no problem. The thing is I believe it needs to be a button top battery and not a flat top.

This is the one I use. Fits great, and since its flat top it is darn close in length.

I have these and it took a while to get the cool heated up at 2 ohms. I think they are not high drain but not completely sure. Only high drain imr gives me good coil heat up for some reason. But no biggie I just stuck those batteries with my vamo in my desk. Lol
