Battery question

[JeremyR]

Too many stories of shady b&ms passing bad knowledge on to consumers... You think you got a 30 amp bat and it's only 10 amps can cause a serious safety issue for consumers.

You did the right thing coming here to find out the truth!

I agree and and am amazed at all the fast help i got with my first question here . This is actually the first and only forum i have participated in

The b&m owner is a nice guy with a small shop in a small town i plan to have a talk with him on Monday after work will see how that go's . Im sure he will take the one i got back i just hope he doesn't try to sell any more as 30 amp . I'm trying to believe he was told they are 30 amp ,but if it was my store i would research my products . I for one will not buy battery's from him again even though my vtc4's checked out as real from what i can tell from the real vs fake articles i looked into

This was probably a case of him being fooled or reading it wrong.
But you do have to be sure of what you got when sub-ohming.

Let us know how it turns out for you. The 30a vtc's are hard to find other than the vtc3's and some higher priced vtc4's.

That was my guess as well here is a FT link that lists them as 2150 10 amp
$8.92 Sony US18650V3 18650 3.7V 2150mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery (2-Pack) 2-pack - 10A discharge / with carrying case at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I test batteries for companies, and give them the results, free. A service for US. The vaping comunity. And, I JUST finished testing a trip. of these batts. They tested at JUST 6-7 amps continuous, breaking 10amps burst, 1950 mah, That was after 4 cycles on the batts. Charge, discharge, etc. so, it was up to full capacity or very near it. SO, C= about 3. For Continuous dis., about 5 for Burst. Well, at least it's a break from testing fake VTC5's. About 15% of those tested, prove to have the specs of a real VTC5. I've hoarded the 4's andd 5's, god knows why, as I only use Liipo flat packs in my semi Mech Mods, and regulated boxes. The Lipos, and the 34's, mu favorite MOSFETS for switching those beastly batts. A parallel pair, works so nicely. And, for `10$, what a Great investment.
