Mod battery recommendation. Unprotected?

[nectarguru]

Wow, it's been quite awhile since I've posted on here. I just bought my first mod today! My innokin VTR should be here by the end of the week. I need to purchase a battery, but I'm a bit overwhelmed at which to buy. The specs all say it requires an unprotected battery, but I'm having trouble determining which actually are. Can somebody recommend me a battery and charger to get me started? Preferably off of Amazon (to utilize my A-Prime membership). I've been looking at these two...

Amazon.com : Eternally®ultrafire 18650 3000mah 3.7v Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (Pair) + Charger Combo : Flashlight Batteries And Chargers : Electronics

Alldaymall® UltraFire 18650 3.7V 2400mAh Lithium Rechargeable Unprotected Batteries 2Pcs + OEM 18650 Lithium Battery Charger (110V~240V AC) Combo - Amazon.com

Any good? Also, can somebody explain to me the responsibility of having unprotected batteries? It's my understanding that I should never let their voltage run too low, nor overcharge. Can I absolutely not use a protected battery in my VTR? If so, why? Thanks in advance for the advice!!

stay away from any battery with fire in it...they aren't very good batteries.. you can pretty much use any 18650 battery in that mod as long as it doesn't say protected.. I would grab something like a Panasonic, sony, efest, to name a few

How can I find the AW battery? Now I'm using Effest battery,not very good battery.

you don't need protected batteries because the mod has built in protection and yes you should never let battery completely drain.. the smart charger I pasted wont let battery over charge

The link didn't work. What exactly do you mean by "stay away from any battery with fire in it?"

trustfire, surefire, etc.

Not sure why. but I see it all the time here. Probably most likely to fail (cheap construction).

+1 on the panasonics.

I bought those for my new SVD with a Nitecore i4 charger.

I'm thinking of going the Panasonic route. Any idea where I could find one in a local store (non-vape shop)?

Not really. I went to Orbtronics.com and bought these.

Panasonic makes great batteries. I also enjoy sony's as well.
