parallel batteries

[badmemory]

This may be a dumb question... What are the benefits of a box mod with batteries in parallel. I do know that it will double the ma rating. I would like to know if there are any other benefits.

Nope, that's it.

Shared workload. Effectively doubles the work capacity of the set, without an increase in voltage.

That's not correct. It depends on the batteries.

If we look at the very popular 14500, one standard 14500 running a real Joye 510 can't really keep up with the current the Joye wants to pull for peak performance. It kinda works, but the 14500 is being stressed. The max discharge rating of the 14500 is being exceeded. A LR atty real beats up one 14500. The safety purists would call this unsafe (it does shorten the batts' longevity). The performance purists will notice the same atty works better on an 18650 (most can easily supply 2.5A).

For Joye 510 and LR atty users A pair of 14500's in parallel will not only last longer (vape time), but vape better and safer. Your batts should also last longer (more charge cycles before they start losing capacity).

Cool, Two Identical batteries in parallel are a little more than twice as strong as a single battery.
How many 10440s would it take to be safe with a low resistance atty?

In my estimation 6
