Battery pandemonium!

[Michael Friel]

I'm interested in buying the innokin SVD on fastech.
It requires 18350, 18500 or 18650 batteries.
Am I correct in assuming that, for length of battery usage (mah) that the 18650 would be the way to go? And with so many models/brands of batteries, I'm at a loss for direction here.
Help me avoid buyer's remorse and tell me what battery would be the best for it, please?

For example, would this battery/charger combo be good? Amazon.com : 4pcs Ultrafire 18650 4000 mAh 3.7V Li-ion Rechargeable Battery + 1pcs charger : Electronics

Or this battery?... Amazon.com: Panasonic CGR18650CG Rechargeable 3.6V Li-ion 18650 Battery 2250mAh, 3008: Electronics

The Panasonic brand is a much better battery than an Ultrafire, I can tell you that much.

I don't own an SVD, so I'm not certain what battery Innokin recommends from the following: protected vs IMR? Flat top or button top battery, or doesn't matter?

The SVD is a regulated, processor-controlled PV, which most manufacturers recommend using a high drain IMR battery if you plan on using the variable voltage/wattage feature above 4 volts.

That Ultrafire in your link is a protected battery, not a high drain IMR battery. The Panasonic in the link is a hybrid/IMR high drain and looks to be a flat top.

Definitely get the Panasonic based on name brand of higher quality and because it is an IMR high drain battery.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. When it arrives, I'll have a vape in your honor!
