LR Atty & Battery?

[lexi60]

Just wondering i got LR Attys from MV, I use them on a DSE905 with 14500's.
These batts used to last me all day on a box mod with reg attys. now they only last me 2 hours with the LR Attys, Is this normal? is there a better batt to use with DSE905? I use the LR's on a pipe mod with 18650 but with a fresh charge the 18650 burns the juice fast like drip puff x 2 drip puff...... thanks.

PS these LR Attys are awesome! going on 3 weeks aint lost one yet.

Yes, that's normal. At a constant voltage, lowering the resistance of the load will raise the current. More current means a hotter vape, but it obviously requires more power from the battery to produce it.

lexi,

It is better to use high drain battery with LR attys -
BDL IMR14500 High Drain Battery

ok. thanks. i was almost thinking the 905 protection and the batt protections were conflicting eachother lol. Maybe we will see MV carry these soon?

High drain batteries will provide as much current as your LR attys demand, but they hold less energy than regular li-ions. They certainly won't help your longevity issue.

I'm not going to read through 8 pages just to not learn anything. Unless it's mislabeled, a 900mAh battery will always outlast a 600mAh battery under the same load. Milliamp hours is a measurement of capacity. 600mAh-rated batteries hold less energy than 900mAh-rated batteries. High drain batteries can provide that energy at a faster rate, which may improve the quality of your vape (if standard batteries don't have a high enough rate for your atty), but as I said previously, they won't improve longevity.

Longevity as in how long between charges yes. Trouble is you're quickly killing the battery attempting to draw out current way faster than the battery can provide. That's why someone suggested the high current (IMR is the abbreviation I think, no?) battery. Not because of capacity but longevity of the battery, ie. how many cycles before it dies.

It makes sense to me, but a lot of people seem to disagree about the longevity of the charge on AW/IMR LiMN batts compared to standard Li-ION batteries. And, they're not protected!

Couldn't you get the best of both worlds with two 14500 batterys in parallel? I plan on making one myself.

Also does anyone know if the white 3xAA battery box has a switch or not. It's not really a deal breaker but would be nice. I have to be honest that since I work in construction a white box might not be the best idea.
