Catfish Atty Mods the next Chapter

[pennysmalls]

A 0.3 Ohm coil on the CAM-M would probably pull much less than 10 Amps from each battery. With two batteries in parallel and low voltage drop the HG2 seems like a very good choice.

That's what I'm trying to learn to calculate, how much amp draw occurs with dual batteries at different ohms. I'm new to parallel battery mods and I did search the battery and charger subforum but am having a heck of time finding the info.

Dual HG2s should last for days. I just got some, and am really impressed with these batteries. I'm using them in my Woodvils.

Love those HG2s as well.

Do I just put myself as number 4 to get on the list like this?

The NarDa Run is a go! Who's in?

1. inspects
2. distortoblotto
3. inswva
4. Tagi

The atty itself was $78, to give you a starting point.

That was the introductory price. Retail is $90.

Oops, sorry Tagi

You aren't kidding! After using the AW 1600mAh for the past year, and changing out batteries twice a day, I am now an LG HG2 fangirl.

With the cam-m the load you are running, and this LG cells you will need to charge every other day.

No worries, just wanted a ballpark, did not want to commit to a crazy priced atty.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

If you are pushing low impedance coils on the cam-m I would suggest 25r's

 

[Wolfenstark]

Thanks Wolf, I've never gone below .4 ohm so no problem there. That is something I was going to ask next. The amp rating of 20 for these batteries is what one should go by to calculate safety limits in a dual parrellel mod, not by the amp rating of both batteries combined, so not 40 amps?

Still count them as 20amp limit.

I will typically warn of crazy priced attys right from the start. The authentic Marquis comes to mind.

Done - Already bought some extras just for this.

Yes but 20 amps x2 being they are wired so to speak in parallel, voltage is the constant ampacity doubles

Oh, got my Manta V1/V2 in today. Thanks Chowder!

 

[Chowderhead1972]

On the way to the post office to ship a pile of mantas and a giant box to Houndb.

The LG HG2 are the best batteries I've used, to date. As an example, on my first 2 runs, in a Woodvil, with my .4 ohm dual coils, i pulled the battery after vaping 5ml of juice, and it still read 3.7 volts on the multi meter.

Cool! I've been a Manta fan from day 1. The V2 is my favorite atty. I'm anxious to read the reviews from folks who are getting their first one.

 

[jhhollier]

And a CAM sticker, nice!

I'll be sure to post my impressions later tonight after I get it built.

hey Tom was wonderin did anyone get thier CAM M today?im in ohio and just from what you had posted I thought it would be here...no go.i have shtiy mail service and hope I don't have to hound you for the tracking on it but 3 times this month ive had to have tracking to find my mail.ill let ya know if it aint here tomorrow,then ill need the tracking if ya can.L8TR

Mine is in hand as well. Thanks Tom.
