    But it comes down to what you're looking to continuously go at as well. VTC4's have the AMPs to super safe vape 150W in a series... Not to mention its a regulated box so you're good. The Snow Wolf isn't a true 200W since 150 above it just pulses. Personally for my boxes I go VTC5 because they have a good continuous and a safe maximum discharge, with the added bonus they have a higher mAH so the more battery life the better.

    The VTC5 is a great battery but it is a 20A rated one. Wasn't sure if you were using them as a direct replacement for the VTC4's or not. They get much hotter above 20A than the VTC4's and will age much faster.

    With 3000 mAh hr they will go alot longer than the Sony at 2100..
    BTW, I've been using the red IMREN 38A
    2600 mAh batts for over 3 mos now in two 150w IPV3's and two 100w ipv4's ..they are great!
    Thx for posting this link for I may order the newer 40A myself...2 for $30 isn't a bad deal either...[emoji12]

    If those batteries are working for you, then keep using them. :)
    They're only rated at about 20A though so I wouldn't use them at much above that to prevent overheating and accelerated aging. And definitely avoid using them at 38A or 40A as the chance of venting increases significantly.

    And a pair of 25R's would perform as well or better at almost 1/3 the price.

    Wow, that second graph is...umm...scary.
    And it doesn't even show the unbelievably high temperature the cell reaches at those current levels.
