The LG HE4 as well as the Samsung 25R are both 20A CDR. The Sony VTC4's are 30A CDR. RTD Vapor usually has the VTC4's in stock.

BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY

Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

30a CDR batteries,
VTC4 2100 mah 30a cdr
Xtar 2100mah 30a cdr ( rewrapped vtc4)

Some folks do use at least 20a cdr batteries in devices that the manufacturer recommends 30a
20a CDR
AW 1600mah 24a cdr
Samsung 20r 2000mah 22a cdr
AW 2200mah 20a cdr
Samsung 25r 2500 mah 20a cdr
LG he2 / he4 2500mah 20a cdr (same battery re wrapped and mislabeled by efest as 35a)

Always best to buy batteries from reputable dealers / vendors such as;
RTD Vapor

Dealing with Triangle Vape for some time on odds and ends. Some great prices on incidentals and low end startup gear. Have two of my fav Pinoy devices. Outstanding deal on some remaining colors for the Smok BT50 (my fav low end box). But some interesting values on a few of the recommended batt's here…

LG 18650HE4 2500mah 20A/35A NMC - Triangle Vape LLC
Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mah 20A NCA - Triangle Vape LLC
Sony US18650VTC4 2100mah 30A - Triangle Vape LLC

Run their Sony's and LG's. Good punch, initial reads and consistent recharge results. Across multiple chargers. Cases included on purchased pairs (nice touch).

Recently noticed the Opus BT-C3100 4 Bay Charger, a formidable recharger batt analyzer (discharger/refresher) is stocked. The 3100 was superseded by this version (v2) which addressed firmware overheating issues. It is equiv to the 3400 I believe except for a light on/off switch feature. An outstanding price for this. ordered it, good thing…put it through it's paces and a very nice device to complement my array of top end chargers.

Folks know I seldom refer but reliable good service here.

Good luck all.

:)
