For max voltage, a pair of LG HB4. For long run time under 120ish, Samsung 30Q. For middle of the road, Sony VTC5A.

NU I think you need to stop drinking so much
.LG HG2, Samsung 30Q, Aspire 1800 mah. I don't recommend Sony simply because of the number of counterfeits and there's better batteries out there. Charge wise Nitecore or Xtar.

The vtc4 is a low capacity 23 amp cell. If going for Sony the vtc5a is a better choice. 25 amps and 2500 mAh.

The Alien has an unusually low battery cutoff so no more than 105w with 20-amp batteries, 130w with the vtc5a, or 155w with the hb4. These 200+w mods are simply too powerful for two batteries.

I believe the OP was referencing Moochs battery chart.

As for battery needs, it really depends on the wattage you intend to vape at. Ive heard about the Smok Alien having a lower cutoff than most so I would recommend monitoring your batteries on your own and recharging them before they reach 3.2V. I do this with my batteries and my cutoff is 3.6, usually about 1/3 left on the battery display on my mod.
If you operate on a 3.2V cutoff then we can recommend cells based on your wattage as such:
For 120W and lower you can use 2 quality 20A cells.
For 120W-140W you need 2 quality 25A cells.
For 140W-170W you need 2 quality 30A cells.
I find it best to figure out the wattage you will be vaping at and then choose a cell that will supply the current you need and has a relatively high mAh. I recommend sticking to the cells listed on Moochs chart and buying only from trusted suppliers to avoid getting fakes.

Can vouch for the VTC5A's. Fully charged set can get me through a 16 hour work day still with 25% left at 40W most of the day.
I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.
I use Samsung 30qs thanks too anthonyvapes getting me off the efest, I vape at 40 watts with my alien an get 2 days sometimes.
Highly reccomend the mod, good choice. I use mine daily

Oh and +1 on the aspire too, use them in my aspire archon.
All the others are highly reviewed an nightcore deffo best charger but because the alien has balanced charging I do sometimes charge it through usb but only done that a couple times. External chargers improve life span greatly

I have an Alien and use 25Rs. Works fine for me as I'm not a high watt vaper. Yes, the 30Qs are rated a bit higher on capacity, but this is what I have (I also have some LGs that also rotate through, don't remember which). I use a Nitecore D4 charger but I've read good things about Xtar as well (preferred by some). Do get a 4 bay charger even though you'll only be charging two at a time for now. Believe me, at some point you will end up regretting that 2 bay you bought thinking you'd never need more.
I regret buying my 2 bay! Specially if I'm chain vaping an it gets to evening an I need more batteries, just glad I have a few mods and 8 batteries all fully charged
For chargers, I like the Enova Gyrfalcon All-44...

Never heard of that but can tell it's good quality, I wanted a decent 4 battery one so will bare this one in mind
Thx. I may have to grab one of those.
My VC4 was working great until recently. Sometimes it won't charge 4 batteries fully and show them as fully charged. Not something I want to chance when a good replacement is $25-35...
