Hi everyone I'm new on here what batteries would you recommend in replacement of sony vtc5's?

These will do very nicely.

These will do very nicely.

VTC4 I believe? They are button top, but you can't get any 30 amp batteries from many suppliers anymore, so if this works for anyone, I would get 'em while they last

Depends on what your requirements are. I've seen many times where people are convinced they must have VTC4' or VTC5's but I find out later their setup is not even pulling 10 amps. There are numerous 20 amp continuous rated batteries that will work just fine for these folks.

Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics

Welcome to ECF! Always make sure you get batteries from a well known vendor. They are nothing to play around with.
