Imr or safe chemistry battery. Minimum 15 amp continuous draw rate. As long as its above a true 15 amp rate not pulse, go as high in mah rating as you can.

If you want a really good deal I use this supplier -http://www.imrbatteries.com/18650-batteries/

Look at the efest or awt there. 30-35 amp 2500 mah.. I've been happy with the new awt's I've got.

There are "better" batteries but quite a bit more for the name and slightly better quality.

If you are thinking about going down to 0.5 ohm (regarding the Subtank coils) I would recommend at least a 20A battery.

18650 BATTERIES

1. Orbtronic SX30 2100mah 30A
2. Sony VTC4 2100mah 30A
3. Xtar 2100mah 30A (re-wrapped Sony VTC4)

1. AW 1600mah 24A
2. Orbtronic SX22 2000mah 22A
3. LG HE2 2500mah 20A
4. Samsung 25R 2500mah 20A => these have performed very well for me. RTD Vapor is my go to for batteries.
5. AW 2200mah 20A (new)


BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY

Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics
