Battery Questions

[Covert]

I have been using Apollos 18650 1600mAh batteries, but they seem to run out pretty quickly. What is the max mAh I can safely use and not damage my Vtube? I have been looking at the Panasonic batteries from orbtronic, and have no idea what to go with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated : )

This is the one that you want from Orbtronic, CGR18650CH 2250mAh. The higher capacity ones don't fit due to the extra length required for the built in protection.

The 3100mAh NCR18650A is the right length but I don't have any experience with it. Perhaps this can be addressed in the Lavatube (VTube) forum.

Thank you bOredagain : ) The CGR18650CH 2250mAh should fit the bill until I have the time to go through the Lavatube forum. Just getting tired of charging batteries so much, and am going camping soon and will not have the option to charge like I do at home. Thanks again.

You are welcome. The Panasonics are better than and do last longer than the generic 1600mAh batteries but not enough to blow your mind. To be safe you should probably stock up on them, especially for extended periods away from home or for being lazy about charging like me.

You need the high drain IMR version - CGR18650CH Panasonic 18650 Li-Mn-Li-ion CGR18650CH High Drain 10A Rechargeable IMR Hybrid Battery Cell
