I need a strong 5 volt Manual Sealed Battery to use with Coolcarts, that will give me the same kind of strength and flavor intensity as my Manual Passthru for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour of vaping, before the flavor and intensity starts getting weak.

The Coolcarts are probably about 3.0 to 3.2 ohms. The juice I’m using is VG 60% PG 40%.
Its very thick juice.

I’ve been using a KR808D-1 XL Manual Sealed Battery (3.7 volt) with KR808D-1 Coolcarts (high resistance 3 ohm).
The intensity of the flavor is not nearly as strong as using my 5 volt Manual Passthru.
On my fully charged KR808D-1 XL Manual Battery, The first 5-10 minutes of vaping,
the flavor and intensity is ok, but still not nearly as strong as the Passthru.
Then, After vaping 5-10 minutes, the intensity and flavor gets even weaker.
I’d say the intensity and flavor is reduced at least 50%. Its pretty weak.

I can’t take a passthru with me to use at work, so I need to get a stronger Battery – I guess at least 5 volts, that will give me the same kind of flavor and intensity of a Passthru for at least 30 minutes, preferably - 1 hour of vaping. At work, I usually vape 4 or 5 times - for 5 minutes each time.

I haven’t seen or heard of any KR808D-1 Manual 5 volt Batteries. Does anybody sell one?
Can I buy a non- KR808D-1 Battery that’s 5 volts and use an adapter so I can screw on KR808D-1 Coolcarts?

I would like to just use a bigger Battery with the Coolcarts so I don’t have to mess with a separate atty and cart like you have to do with Joye. I’ve also read that the Joye separate atty and carts can have a lot of leak problems, and also the Joye Battery is not a sealed Battery, to keep juice from getting into the Battery.

Also, I think the Joye 510 Battery is also only 3.7 volt just like my XL Manual Sealed Battery.
So I don’t see how the Joye 510 would give any stronger intensity and flavor than my XL Manual Sealed Battery.
My XL Manual Sealed Battery is 380 mah. I don’t know how many mah the Joye 510 Battery.

I think Firefly13 said in another post somewhere that they used a 6 volt Battery volt with Coolcarts. I’ve never heard of a 6 volt Battery.

I’m not all that knowledgeable about Batteries. The XL Manual Sealed Battery (3.7 volt)
Is the only Battery I’ve ever used. I don’t know much about other batteries.

I’ve heard of other models like the Joye, Riva, Reo, Boge Leo. But I think they all use a separate atty and cart instead of just the cart like the KR808D-1.

So what I’m looking for is a strong 5 volt Manual Sealed Battery that I can use Cool Carts with, that will give me 30 minutes to 1 hour of good, strong, vaping before it starts to get a lot weaker.

Wow, that's a big question, and it implies you don't have a basic grasp of the different types of pv's ( personal vaporizers ) available.
( no offense )
I'll try to give you a basic break down without writing a book. :)

The pv that basically looks like an analog cigarette is called a pen style pv and it comes mostly in 3.2 or 3.4V with the kr8 style coming in a 3.7V. That is as high as a pen style gets. The next step up in batteries is the Ego/Riva style that is basically the same as a pen style but with a larger ( fatter ) battery that comes with a cone to make up the difference in the diameter of the battery and the atty/carto. They generally come in 3.4V with one or two in 3.7V.

Your next step up from there are Mods. These use big lithium batteries that come in basically two voltages ( 3.0 & 3.7 ) and a wide range of mAh ( mAh = milliamp hours and generally indicates how long the battery can maintain output of the listed voltage ) There are two basic types of mods ( flashlight & box ) that come in two sub categories of mechanical and electronic.
flashlight = as the name implies it is usually 1 or 2 batteries with a switch and atty/carto connector wired in line in a tube like enclosure ( may even be a flashlight that was modded to use an atty/carto instead of a bulb )
box mod = a simple battery box with switch and connector added to it
mechanical = a simple circuit of batteries / switch / connector, voltage is implied by batteries used, one 3.7V battery would give you a 3.7V box mod, two 3.0V batteries would give you a 6V mod ( Generally there is no one battery that is going to give you 5V or 6V ).
electronic = the same configurations as flashlight & box mods but with a circuit board to regulate and condition the power going to the atty/carto.
A basic 5V box mod is two 3.7V batteries with a regulator or resistor to knock the 7.4V down to 5V. Most regulators are static but some are variable and allow you to vary the voltage, these are where high voltage mods come from and are definitely not for the weak. ;)

What you are probably looking for is a 5V box mod, "Madvapes" Custom Mods is one of the more popular vendors that has box mods for sale, but there are many out there. ( make sure to order batteries and charger, these are usually not included and they are not something you can get at the corner grocery ).

This is as basic a I could make it. I would recommend a lot of reading in the ECF library and check out the modders forum.

Good Luck

Vpn has made good points. Cool carts are just what the name is...cool carts. 5v, depending on what the ohm rating on the carto's are, would more than likely cause a burnt taste or ruin the cart itself. You need to do more research on higher volt mods. I have ones that are 5v and higher and only use HV atty's on them. Please do more research as you may be very unhappy with the outcome.

Are you using your passthrough on your computer or the wall charger? This makes a difference also. Your wall charger needs to be 2A inorder to get the 5v.

Curious that they would market a 6V, when 5V is generally more popular. I notice they don't list the mAh on there, surely it couldn't be more than 180, that will only get you an hour at best. I'd be willing to bet they squeezed in 2 of the batts from a super mini with no regulator to get 6V out of a batt that small. Basically a mechanical pen style pv. If these prove popular AND they figure out how to get a regulator in something that small, we'll see a 5V next. Betcha :)
