Best Batts

[redrhino]

OK I'm looking to get new batts for my SB/BSB and a few other HV mods that i have.....I only vape 6 Volts..... So unfortunately i will not be interested in the LR atty's since these atty's simulate HV vaping at 3.7 Volts....But like i said I'm Just not interested in them is all....And the only reason why i brought up LR atty's is Cause i know stacking batt's is not recommended....

I use AW RCR 123a now that's why it's my first choice.. But been using them for a while so it's time to replace the old with the new....

Been hearing a lot of different reactions lately to batts....So I figured i ask before my next Batt purchase.....

Just been hearing a lot of different reactions to the Low Drain batts and the regular AW RCR123a batts Just not sure anymore....

Then i hear people are really happy with the LiFePO4 batts...I'm Just very confused with these batt things so i really need some one to help me get the best bang for my buck..... I just want the best batt for durability long life and of course safeness...But the Low drain AW and the regular ones and the Lifepo4 is just to confusing for me....

Thank you so much in advance.....

My opinion is you are using the ones I would be using if you want 3.7V or a bit more with a fresh one. the material looks to be standard Li-ion material. The LiMN has warnings about problems when charging, and you have to check the voltage to make sure it hasn't overcharged, which could lead to fire. The LiFePO4s are 3.0V, but the preferred cells if you want 5 or 6V. They do last longer than regular Li-ion, but do you care if you have to replace a batt every 500 cycles as opposed to 200 cycles? At 3.0V the LR attys might be needed more than with 3.7V.

It sounds like you want 3.7V, not higher, so my recommendation is stick with the AW RCR123a. Its protected too, which adds to the safety considerably. Li batts with high current are a relatively new technology, with the normal Li-ion material (3.7V) the best known and production being the best worked out. I hear stories of the LiFePO4s being a bit hit or miss as to recharging and general performance. The LiMNs are claimed to be safe chemistry, whatever that means, but they clearly have not worked out the overcharging issues yet like they have with normal 3.7V batts. If you have had good luck with the normal Li-ions, I would stick with them, as it also looks to me as though they are all round the best in general for your vaping needs (3.7V).
