Yeah, running in series or parallel paired together, use to brand new batteries and pair them as one set, mating them to make sure they are identical, charge cycles, amps, mah, brand, and model, mark them as say pair 1 for such and such mod. Being Sony VTC batteries are soon to be slim and far between being they are not manufactured anymore, there are other good high drains out there that will work made by Orbtronic, LG, even Samsung, and in your unit the LG "LGDBHE21865" Hybrid 18650 High Drains will do you real well as they last longest being drained fully before recharging them, and the mod's circuitry cut off at low voltage will keep you from draining them down fully below recharge point, and have 35amp max drain.
 
I'd recommend Sony VTC 4's, they're back in production. Sony partnered with xtarlight when they opened a new production factory in the Philippines.
You can find them on their website, under 18650 / 2100 mah series.

Samsung 25R's and LG HE2's are decent as well.

Stay away from efest/trustfire/ultrafire/vamped/mjxo batteries, they're all just rewrapped cells and there's no telling what you'll actually get.
 
I would try Amazon. Usually have great prices and the shipping time is ok. Just be mindful that you should prob buy brand new batteries. I wouldn't think its a good idea using someone else's batteries. Batteries do require a little simple care and I wouldn't use batteries that came from someone I didn't know. That said I would try to be 35amp or above. My favorite are Vamped batteries they are 2000 MAH 40AMP Hi Drain.
