Battery for a vamo v2

[Mr.West120690]

I'd like to get another battery for my v2. Which are the best batteries to use in these things and where do I order them from? Thanks in advanced!

Most of the time I use stacked IMR 18350's in my V3, but I also use IMR 18650's and CGR 18650's.

I've been sticking to Efest, Panasonic, and Sony batteries, so far, with good results.

Use 18650, but do not stack 18350. Just for your safety. Bad things could happen.

Use 18650, but do not stack 18350. Just for your safety. Bad things could happen.

Seeing as how the V2 (And the V3/4/5, as well as a handful of other devices) are made to take stacked 18350's - and perform better in that configuration, to boot - I'm just curious as to what concerns you might have?

stacking batteries is not recommended for mech mods, on vv/vw is different but allways ALLWAYS, check the specs from the manufacturer i think the vamo v3 can be used with 2x 18350 stacked.

if you want quality batteries go for the AW IMR 18650 or 18350 for your vamo

And you can get any of the suggested batteries at RTD Vapor.

I use 18650 Panasonic hybrids or AW IMR, or 18350 Efest V2 IMR and have been happy with them all in a Vamo V2.

With the above said, if you do choose to stack batteries keep them in "mated pairs", charge them together, use them together, don't slap a freshly charged battery on a battery that might be at a different charge level than the other yadda yadda, it's best to keep those cells together once you start using them and "conditioning" them to each other.

Keeping our batteries in pairs, why?
As seen in the previous discussion, internal resistance in batteries reduces the ability of current to flow. Should one battery contain greater internal resistance than the other in the pair, that battery when called upon to work, will exert itself at an X factor compared to its counterpart. This increase exertion (in trying to keep up with its counterpart) will lead to an increase in internal resistance. As time goes buy, the internal resistance grows exponentially until battery failure occurs.

Because electrical current flows in a closed system, the battery with the lesser internal resistance is trying to push a golf ball through a garden hose (so to speak). This in turn causes an increase in internal resistance of the "good" battery. As the internal resistance in the "good" battery increases, the battery containing the greater internal resistance is stressed even more, once again increasing its internal resistance due to work. Why? Think of it as trying to fight your way through a jungle using a machete when compared to a walk in the park. Which one is less demanding?

[h=3]How do I ensure my batteries are kept in pairs?[/h]They are normally received from the manufacture that way. Once received mark the pair with a letter and a number e.g. A1 and A2.
[h=3]Is the number important and if so why?[/h]Yes it is. A natural phenomenon takes place in a stack that many cannot explain. The battery closest to the load will discharge quicker than its counterpart. Many theories have materialized over this, but for all practicality, we know it occurs and will leave it at that (in this discussion). You should alternate your batteries in subsequent uses. e.g. If A1 was used on top, A1 should be used on the bottom next time the set is used, and back on top for the following use, and so on, and so on... This will insure a greater distribution of the workload and a more natural and even build up of internal resistance, extending overall battery life. Think of it as rotating the tires on your vehicle, wearing them out evenly.

Coincidintally..ECF was mentioned in the above article..and I am swiping a quote from there too..well with some modification!

Very true. I have a few pairs that I purchased specifically for stacked use in mods, the 18350's I have for mechs are never mixed with those paired sets, and I have them marked so they are always rotated together (and rotated top/bottom as well).

Any of the following IMR or hybrid batteries are high drain batteries and are recommended. I recommend RTD Vapor or Orbtronic as online vendors to purchase from:

AW IMR
18650 2000mah
18350 ​(700mah)

Panasonic or Orbtronic hybrids
CGR18650CH 2250mAh
NCR18650PF 2900mAh
NCR18650PD 2900mAh
Orbtronic 18650 SX22 2000mAh

Samsung hybrid
INR18650-22P 2200mAh
INR18650-20R 2000mah

Sony hybrid
us18650v3 IMR 2250mAh

EH IMR
18650 2000 mAh
18350 800 mAh

Efest IMR
18650 (IMR/hybrid) 2250mAh
18650 2000mAh
18350 800mah

* The Panasonic/Orbronic NCR18650B 3400 mAh battery is not a high drain battery and not suggested to be used for regulated mods such as the Vamo.
