New vv/vw battery

[Neil7289]

I bought a tesla today and the lowest ohms I will be going is about 1.5ohm, is it safe to use the batteries that came with it or should I buy others?

What battery came with it?

You should use an imr chemistry, high drain battery.

I would venture to say that 1.5 is safe for most batteries though. You are pulling about 2.8 amps on a fully charged battery

The only thing on the battery is icr 18650 and then the mAh and voltage

The icr chemistry is not a great choice for your tesla. You could use a better battery.

Look for:
Imr or imr/hybrid chemistry.
High drain (most batteries rated at 10A or more continuous discharge are high drain).

Name brand batteries like AW, Sony, Samsung, LG and such.

Steer clear of batteries with "fire" in the name like ultrafire and such.

Generic batteries and flashlight batteries are not what you want.

ohms are irrelevant

ohms are irrelevant

You know i was thinking the Tesla was a mech for some reason; yeah doesn't matter

Is it dangerous to use them while I wait to order others?

The batteries you have should work but...

No name and icr chemistry pretty much mean they are generic, low amp batteries that if and when they fail, they will do so by venting flames.

Imr chemistry batteries can still vent but it will just vent hot gasses that will not combust.

Upgrade when you can and be careful not to abuse your current batteries.

Don't leave them charging unattended. Don't carry them unprotected, loose in your pockets or bag. Don't use them if they are dented or damaged.
