LG HG2 20A 3000mAh max watt question (two batt. mod)

[nocigsnomore]

Hi!
Got the smok Alien with two of those batteries. The calculator at Steam Engine says 75 watt is max wattage with a 0.15 coil, but is it higher when having two batteries running?

+ Read that the amp can be doubled. 1.5 for safety.

120 watts to stay in the CDR (60 watts per cell), over that you'll be in pulse rating. Ohms dosen't come in to play on a regulated device.

Thanks!

Your welcome.

That sounds sketchy to me.

If you want a super low build get some true 30 amp batteries like the Samsung 30Q or similar

On a regulated device resistance doesn't matter, and the Samsung 30Q is a 20 amp battery.

I thought @Mooch said 30Q was 30 amp.

I think he said they tested out at 23a.
Get a pair of VTC5a or HB6's, though the latter are only 1500mah.

Watts (add 10% to account for device inefficiency) / battery cutoff voltage (usually 3.2v) = amps

With series mods you multiply the cutoff voltage with the number of batteries, with parallel mods you divide the amps with the number of batteries. The amp draw per battery is the same whether parallel or series though.

With HG2's I would stay below 120w in a dual battery mod as you are at their rated constant discharge current of 20a @ 128w.

Nope

Nope

Samsung 30Q 20A 3000mAh 18650 Bench Retest Results...a great 20A/3000mAh battery!

I stand corrected. Was it the VTC4 that he rated 23a?

The VTC4 is rated at 20amps by mooch, it can be run (like a lot of other cells), over its recommended CDR but will shorten the life of the cell.

 

[Mooch]

It's all in my tables...I rated the VTC4 at 23A.

Then my apologies to you, sir. It seems you were correct and the VTC4 is indeed a 23A cell.

(I still blame @Mooch though and his many battery tables. J/K )

This always helps me out as I can never remember all the damn batteries and their specs.

Mooch has made life easier and safer for a lot of people, god bless his little cotton socks.

I'm vaping here! Forgedabowdit..
