Help choosing battery

[buildabane]

Today I am going to hit up a local B&M for a few 18650 batteries. I have a choice between Sony VTC3's or VTC4's. the 3's are $6.99, and the 4's are $9.99. Which would you go with? Is the 400mah difference really worth the extra money when they both have a 30amp limit?

For the $3 extra, I'd go with the VTC4s. To me, the extra 500mAh is worth $3 (2100mAh vs. 1600mAh). Either way, those prices are pretty good considering the current market.

I'll go with the 4's then. I have one now, but I mostly just use VTC3's since I got a bunch for $3 a pop...My low ohm builds just EAT the battery life up on the VTC3s, but I have a bunch so it evens out. Thanks for the info.

Be careful that they are not fakes, Sun Vapers put this together on fake VTC5's but IMO it also applies to VTC4's.

Yes! Make sure they are real, since they are rediculously hard to find now-a-days, otherwise jump on those 4s! That is a good price for a 30A battery. I would tell you to buy some for me as well lol, but I have 3 VTC5s in rotation for my mech already.
