Will these batteries work with the Vamo?

[thecatanddog]

I have $35 ebay bucks and figure i can get an XTR charger and batteries (if these work) for under that price. I am going to be picking up a SS Vamo from HC soon. Soshine Li ion 18650 Protected 2200mAh 3 7V Battery | eBay

They are 3.7v 18650 2200mah batteries. Still don't know if these will work with the Vamo as i think i remember seeing it requires, IMR batteries, and am not sure exactly what that is and if these batteries are that. TIA

I'd be really careful with batteries. As thrify as I am, that's something I don't try to save money on. Someone was explaining that discount battery suppliers buy pallets of rejects and just put new labels on them.

Here's a recommendation on batteries

i do not think these are high drain batteries, as well as the protected circuitry is not needed.
IMR batteries are high drain hybrids that have a higher amp output then regular batteries.

the panny and aw are the best APV batteries we can get.

i dont really see the difference, but if it was me i would get these Panasonic CGR18650CH High Drain 10A Hybrid IMR Li ion 18650 Battery CGR18650 x 2 | eBay

over an efest any day of the week.

actually i do see it one is flat top one is button top

 

[thecatanddog]

also with the XTR charger, im fairly safe with leaving them in the charger until charged then pop the batts in a case? also what's this "DONT LET RUN BELOW 2.5v" and how do i know when/if i've done, that tried searching, just can't find a clear answer. TIA guys
and Thrasher, im sitting on 8 10ml of blueberry and 2 30ml of vapedudes liquid, should be set for a month or so

Thanks again Thrasher, even though that pan is only a 3.6v it's fine right? I figure it's fine if you recommended it haha. so pumped for this Vamo, going with the SS version, anyone have one or any pics?

yea once charged just toss em in the holder.
we should never let li batteries fully drain or they are ruined, the vamo will not let you do this it will tell you when its time for a new one.
they are all 3.7 v batts they just charge up to 4.2 and slwly drop off till 3.6 then hange there for awhile.
i have 4 of those batteries from orbtronics and if you go to the APV section you will see a ton of peeps using this same battery, they last well past a day.

The first battery is a button top, or nipple top. The bottom battery is a flat top battery. As long as the Vamo has the insulator at the + then either battery will work. To play it safe, get the button top battery. Much less chance of the battery shorting out...

just on a side note the company has the batteries on their websire as well until now i didnt even know orbtronics was on ebay lol

very good seller and great customer service.

steammonkey.com sells the pannys for $8 shipped fyi.

And for future reference, I'd recommend staying away from protected batteries with regulated devices (which already have their OWN protection circuits).

hes trying to use ebay credits or something i believe..

You can always use an adapter on the Vamo if you want to use Kanger T3s though. Same with most devices out there that don't seem to fit the Kanger T3.
