LG LGDBHE4's

[Canadian_Vaper]

Well it's been about 4 years since I got my 12x VTC4's and they are starting to die off 1 by 1, I started off using them in my flashlights (XML-T6) then when I started vaping I just grandfathered them, they've all gone through a lot of cycles and had a good life ^__^ anyways, I'm looking for cheap enough replacements as I'm going to be ordering a dozen of them, I'll never vape above about 13 amps, kinda curious about these guys here.

Has anyone had any experience with em? Price is decent, reviews look okay..

If you're not going over 13amps go for the LG HG2 they are 3000Mah with a 20a CD rating. IMHO for up to 20a CD they're the best out there.... If not the then go for the Samsung 25r. They're 2500Mah with a 20a CD rating also a great 20a battery.

I suggest the LG HG2 3000mah 20a CDR.

I second the suggestion of the LG HG2. I started using them about a month ago, after using VTC4s and 5s, previously. The LGs are the best batteries I've used.

Having 12 of them I don't care about mah much, I have 2x 4 slot chargers as well, (I have 2 flashlights that use 4x 18650's).

I know HG2's are FTM but 12 of them aren't in my price range right now.

Best person to ask about this would be @Mooch but I'm pretty sure at 13A there is very little differance in performance and heat produced from the HG2 and Samsung 25r and I believe overall both of these are recommended over the LG HE4.

Thank you for all the recommendations, I know batteries fairly well, just curious if anyone has had any experience with these one in particular.

#1 for me would be the LG HG 2's. Longest run time I've found, and plenty of headroom.
But to save $$, an EXCELLENT #2 would be the Samsung 25 R's - and while I like Fasttech fine, I'd suggest getting them here - $5 each

I've not used the LG HE4 myself but I believe they are just a newer version of the HE2 that run a little cooler at higher amps than the HE2. For running at 13A they will be fine.

The HE4 is also a 2500Mah 20a CDR battery.

They're a good battery. At 13A they perform about the same as a 25R. HG2's will last longer before needing a recharge which means you need to recharge them less. This means they will last longer before needing to be replaced. This will save you money.

But you won't go wrong buying HE4's for vaping at 20A or lower. They are an established, reliable battery with good performance.

Many thanks, I ordered 4 to give em a test for vaping and my flashlights.

They have been good to me for about 11 months now. They were the first batteries I bought at the local b&m to go in my Kbox. I've never taken them above 15 amps in my mechs, but have been on par with the 25rs in terms of strength and longevity (for vaping of course). I don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

[Canadian_Vaper]

Just an update, ordered 2x HG2's and 8x More HE4's

2x HG2's and 2xHE4's will be put aside for vaping and 8x HE4's are for my flashlights.

Now the waiting game ^__^
