Dual battery mech mods and safety questions.

[Mrez]

One of the gentlemen who works at my local B&M's that I've become friendly with is building dual battery mech box mods. He let me try his with a pretty low subohm build (.1 something or another) and I have to admit it was pretty good. I normally stay within .25-.6 for most of my builds (on LG's and Sony VTC4's). I asked him about the safety range on a dual battery box mod and I didn't really understand the answer. So assuming I'm using my LG's in one of these boxes, do I still need to stay in my .25 safe range, or does having two battery's change things up a bit? My primary interest in one of these boxes is the additional battery life for when I'm out an about at a bar, casino, or some other such place where regular access to my charger isn't going to happen. Obviously I know I can get sigelei 100w or IPV3, but they both seem to require 30 amp batteries which are becoming difficult to come by, and to be honest, not 100% sure how to best build for the high wattage VW box mods. I think I just prefer the mech mods for the time being.

Running two 20 amp batteries in parallel makes the combined draw 40 amps and leaves the voltage the same as with one battery. LG HE2 is rated at 20A and the VTC's are rated 30A.

I have both batteries and I don't go under 0.25 ohms with the LGs or 0.2 ohms with the VTCs. If I were running a dual parallel battery mod with 20A batteries in it I would not go under 0.15 ohms.

AFAIK, a 100 watt regulated mod using two batteries requires 20A batteries, not 30A.

So essentially I plan my builds using 2xthe continuous amp rating of the battery, and can also expect 2 x mah rating of the battery?

Correct. .................

Might be worth the buy then for 100 bucks.
