18650 Battery Safety: Real-Time Tests

[laminated_tissure_paper]

Hope this helps the guys looking for legit battery info through real-time tests conducted by a fellow
ECF-ian. Do note the pattern and don't fall for the "too good to be true" batteries.

Wow. That's some impressive research. If I were a cloud chaser I would only be using the LG HB2 & HB6 batts.

Just go out to @Mooch and click on his blogs. Lots and lots of great information on individual cells, how he tests them and all the cells he has bench tested with his results.

Here are some of his blog links I often post for others:

• There are no 18650 batteries with a genuine rating over 30A!
• Battery pulse ratings are useless!
• 18650 Safety Grades -- Picking a Safe Battery to Vape With
• Links to all his battery tests to date: List of My Battery Tests

Be sure to use the latest version though. I've tested a bunch more cells since that table one was posted. See the Safety Grades link in my signature or head over to my blog.

All your links are junk....FYI

 

[Susan~S]

All your links are junk....FYI

They all work for me (although I have to scroll to the top).

I can't do anything (regarding the link) about having to scroll up. If there are comment (in the blog link) the link automatically defaults to the bottom of the page with comments.

EDIT: fix the links so they no long scroll to the bottom it there are comments.

 

[Mooch]

Hmm...they all work for me. The "comment" tag gets attached to the end of the link (for 3 of them) which forces the page down to the bottom. Just scroll up.

The only link I don't have to scroll up is the link with "no comments". I'll ask over in "Site Feedback & Help" to see if there is anything I can do about this.

Yea, I really hate that default for the forum software.

Success!!! Check them now.

I just had to delete the end of the link (the part highlighted in blue)

Would it be dangerous if I'm using Sony vtc5 on sx mini m at around 30w?

If you're on a 0.03ohm coil then yes it is.

It should be completely safe at 30W. The VTC5 can handle at least 60W and often a lot more depending on you're chain vaping or not.

 

[Mooch]

It shouldn't be dangerous. The mod should refuse to fire.

I'm sorry Mooch And yes at 1 volt it probably wouldn't fire

Sorry guys, need some help. Running on single IMR 18650 2000mah 3.7V 7.4WH on mech with 0.2 ohms. Recommended? Because it tends to heat up whole mech very quickly. Some how the ohms law says 0.4-0.5 is good. But flavour is BLEH!Tried 0.5 ohms as well. It's a whole lot of less flavour & "haze" compensation for heat reducing. Just wanna know will it BOMBA if its okay with 0.2ohms, don't mind charging batt regularly as well.
