I like a little tinge of absinthe with my cool-aid :)
 
Hello everyone. I am looking to get another battery for my radius. I am looking at batteries in the 3000mah range. I have two that interest me but I am
Wondering about the
Amps. One is has a 10a max pulse with 20a discharge and is 3200mah. The other has 30a max and 50a discharge and is 3000mah. Are either of these a viable option?

What brand? Model? Specs are useless since what you post no battery is capable of.

One is MXJO ID# 108

The mxjo 108 is a rewrapped panasonic and an ok battery and will be fine in any provari. Since the radius maxes at 9.5 amps you'll be in the safe zone. However, they are ONLY a 10 amp and will not handle anything over a 15a pulse for more than 2secs. You will want to stay under 20w with that battery.

The other battery you give the specs for I would stay away from. NO 18650 is capable of anything over a 40a pulse. Especially if it's a high cap. The only batt so far I know of that came close is the vtc but that was high drain low cap with only 2000 mah.

Don't skimp on batts, it's not worth the risk to save a couple bucks. Read mooch's battery blog here on ecf for more detailed info. IMO stick with the Sammy, lg hg2 or AW batts.

I've been seriously considering adding a Kayfun V4 to my arsenal of tanks, but have a very hard time justifying the cost. A few days ago, a brand new one went up on ebay for $130. The box has a broken SvoeMesto seal, but the seller states that it's a brand new, authentic item. Today, the seller dropped the price to $110. I am very tempted to pull the trigger, but, since the box is open, I don't want to risk being taken for a ride. What's to stop the seller (zero feedbacks, by the way - joined eBay 10 days ago) from taking out the authentic tank and replacing it with a clone? Other than a sealed box, is there a way to verify authenticity?

He actually has another KF4 listed for $99, supposedly used for 3 days.
