Haha, sweet!

@$@%^@$@

It's official. I hate batteries. lol

What about the AW IMR 18650 2000mah? any additional benefits with those over the 1600?

Thank you for the charts.. that's super helpful.

Yeah, I was just checking that out.. that's an awesome website.

But.. am I reading the charts wrong? I see that the AW 1600mah is producing higher voltage, but the Orbtronic is showing a much longer charge life.. isn't it? Or do I have that backwards?

The problem is that a decent chunk of that battery life is below 3.7v, which is about where you'll most likely be changing the battery out for performance reasons anyway.

Realistically you want the battery that can hold above 3.7v for the longest.

oh, man.. that chart all of a sudden makes these orbtronic batteries look terrible! they barely start at 3.7! lol

They are not terrible... they are very good batteries. But they may not be very good for you. It all depends upon the application.

I don't do those ultra low resistance thangs. I take long, slow hits on ~2Ω cartos with my mechs as well as my VV/VWs. As you can see on the second chart, I benefit from those pannys. YMM(and will)V.

 

[mattblack]

Yeah, I think for my sake, they won't work since I'm planning on running at .7-1Ω

Thankfully, Orbtronic was able to cancel the order and I ordered two of the AW's instead.. I may end up reordering the orbtronic ones at some point, though, for my electronic stuff

If you're going to "kick" your mech or run a VV/VW, then the Orbs are great, but for low to sub ohms... better get some BIG volts!

Hey Vaping Turtle.
The Orbtronic battery in the comparison pic isn't based on the NCR18650PD.

This one is though.....
