A question about Serial/Parallel batteries, Amp limits and the Smok Alien..

[Mooch]

This is where i dont get it..

The Alien is a popular Mod.. bundled with baby beast atomizer... T6 is one of their coils.. It is readily available on the market.. On the coil it says 'can be vaped between 40-130W, best at 70-90'..

And say i am running on dual Sony VTC6's, which are very nice batteries..

If i run happen to run them at lets say 110W, by the time the batteries voltage drops to 3 volts each, i will be getting a little over 20A from these batteries.. And they are rated CDR 15A by Sony, 19A by third party..

Now this is a scenario where i am using a decent mod, a popular atomizer, a commercially available coil from a well known brand, all of which are made by the same brand for each other ( even bundled together ), and plus i am running on a very praised battery... Yet i am exceeding the limits of my battery..

This is what gets me worried, and gets me i confused when i hear people say 'use a good battery and there's not much to worry about'..

Is there anything that i am missing? Is there something like 'well, in that scenario you should pull the trigger for at least a minute before you are in any kind of trouble and no one will continuously fire a coil for that long, even if you do your battery will be depleted before that minute is over anyway' ?

The continuous current rating of a battery is not a safety or performance limit. It has nothing to do with safety though, because of the criteria used to set it, it can provide a fairly safe point to operate at and to recommend to others.

The continuous current rating is merely a statement regarding how hard you can run a battery down to its low voltage cutoff for a certain number of cycles before its capacity drops a certain percentage and/or its internal resistance increases a certain percentage.

Any battery can be used at above its continuous rating. How far depends on the amount of time it is on versus off and on the temperature the battery reaches.
