Could I have your recommendations please? Best battery for an SVD

[catalyst]

Good afternoon,

I recently purchased my first "nice" mod - an SVD from fasttech. I also ordered some batteries before I fully did my research. They work, but they are XX-fire batteries. After browsing and searching I now see that these batteries are quite lower-end. I would like to get the highest quality batteries and charger possible. I read that rtdvapor had the batteries I need, but I'm a little bit confused about some of the nomenclature. Could someone help me pick my battery from Genuine AW Batteries at RTD Vapor or if you have another reputable seller (preferably within the U.S.), please provide it? If I understand correctly, this Panasonic High Drain NCR18650PD Hybrid 2900mAh Button Top is the battery I need. I know that the battery isn't supposed to be protected, and the higher the mAh the longer the average life of the battery. I've seen Panasonic get high marks on this forum, also AW (?). I could be wrong in my understanding though.

thanks in advance for any help you can provide

I've got an SVD, and one of the great things about it is that it will fit any good battery!
You can use 18350, 18490, 18500, and 18650 sizes - if you want a shorter SVD (with shorter vape time)...
For the 18650's here are a couple:
The highest quality, most recommended battery: AW IMR 18650 from RTD
Also good, I've got these, too: Panasonic IMR "Hybrid" CGR18650CH

Thank you Train2, I appreciate the assistance!

What do you use for charging? I was looking at the NITECORE intellicharger i4. It seems to have some good feedback.

That's exactly what I have.
I've seen some people bash NiteCore, usually recommending a Pila, but mine's behaved perfectly.

On that, you might save a few bucks on Amazon compared to getting it from RTD (but you DON'T want to Amazon or Ebay for batteries - there are fakes out there).

This is the battery that you need 2900mAh, cgr18650ch is lower in capacity.

I used the ---fire's in my SVD when I first got it. Those battery's came with it along with a i4 charger as a package deal. They worked fine for me, but I now use the Panasonic's listed above and the last WAY longer on charge than the ---fire's. Like they last 2 to 3 hours longer. A major difference to me, but yours will work until you get a "higher" quality batt.

The -- fire's I got last about 3 to 4 hours. Worthless. I am waiting on my new batteries in vapemail now. I sure hope they last longer. I've been seriously disappointed with having to constantly replace batteries. My spinners and twists last way over a day, but my SVD has to have its batteries changed 4 times a day.

I am using Panasonic NCR18650PF's. They are the latest hybrid model. When I first got them, I got about six hours of use. (I'm a fairly heavy vaper). With each charge cycle, the time increased, now I'm getting almost TWO DAYS. Love my Panasonics. Life is too short for cheap batteries. I use them in my SVD and my Vamo v5. BTW, I am using an Inttelicharger i2 which is awesome.

I just wanted to update in case anyone finds this thread with the same question. The above reply was correct. This battery lasts me two full days before it even hits yellow on my SVD. Thanks again, Strontium.

Happy to share what I know.

Keep an eye on Orbtronic. There is always something new.

I save my AW Imr 18350 batts for my SVD because it makes it much smaller, and keep my EFest IMR 18650 batts for my VTR. I switch back and forth between the two because they have diff favors, but my SVD still lasts a LONG time with 700mah AW IMR 18350 batts

Ya the svd is enormous so I also use Aw 18350 cells. Still it's too big but I really don't use it
