Few Qs About batteries

[Grizz7]

Alright been modding for the last few months now been using sony 30 amps
And Was Think about getting into a 26650 mod but got a little confused on the bats so heres my Q

Ok so if im correct a battery with a Max Continuous Discharging Current: 30A Will always be putting out 30 amps If im Correct please tell me if im wrong.

So the Maximum Instantaneous Discharging Current or Pulse is like its peak or what you shouldnt pass?

Lets say you have mnke imr 26650 battery that has a 20 amp continuos thats means its a 20 amp battery correct ? seeing its constantly putting out 20 amps?

but this is what confuses me on these mnke it says it has a Maximum Instantaneous Discharging Current 60 Amps so dose that mean its a 60 amp or am im just lost?

help if you can explain continuous and instantaneous if yal would

#1 max continuous amps is the safe limit of amps that it will put out.
#2 max instant is just that a momentary current level a sure which can happen when you first fire up some equipment.
#3 20 amps is the max continuous limit.
# no it is not a 60 amp battery.

steved5600 already answered most of your questions, I just wanted to add one more thing. A battery puts out the amperage that is determined by the resistance of the atty and the voltage of the battery.

Here is a online Ohm's law calculator. Enter 4.2 in the voltage field and 1 in the resistance field and click 'calculate'. You will see that the current draw on the battery is 4.2 amps and the atty will be making 17.64 watts. Change the resistance to 0.5 and hit calculate and the battery draw goes up to 8.4A and the watts to 35.28. Change the voltage and you'll also see the amperage change.

When using a max 30A battery, you need to be careful to never go over 30A draw. Personally, I would leave a bit of a safety margin in that number.

Hope this helps
