HGB is Zhuhai Hange battery tech.

They make LiPo batteries for cameras, phones, video equipment etc.

They are probably contracted to supply the COV volt.
Which is in a round metal case that says 18450 1200 mah on it in the Mini volt.
Mini volt is no different from others that exaggerate battery capacity and wattage capability of their devices.

It is a slick little device just do not plan on doing much 40 watt vaping on it.

Lol
I see where you are going with this and I agree, I wouldn't buy a mod with a built in cell for this reason.
Just keep I mind this isn't an IMR cell in a mechancial.
Nope but neither will it likely run the required current when mostly discharged for 40 watts.
they also say it will fire down to .1 ohm. Not for me with that battery in it for sure. Value what toofers I have left too much.

I looked closer.
It's a tabbed LiPo cell. Says 1200mah.
It's in a regulated device, so I would assume it has some protective circuitry.
I would not buy this to use at .1ohms.
It's not really meant to do that.
Battery life would be non existent.

Yes is a bit lumpy. But generally paks do not have 18450 and such designations. Ohh well.
Yep battery life will not be good at 15 watts. If it just had a replaceable 18500....
such a slick little device but no replaceable battery kills it for me.

Removable 18500 in the volt would be a winner for sure!

I actually have a cloupor mini+ 50 watt TC mod that uses an 18650, and isn't much larger than the volt.
Wife won it here in a contest.
Not a bad mod.
