It is my uderstanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it is recommended to use unprotected batteries in the Vamo due to the built in protection of the APV itself.
Yes, but ICR cells have a chemistry that can cause them to explode if they go into thermal runaway, and the Vamo is capable of putting enough drain on the battery to make that happen.
The recommendation is to use safe chemistry IMR batteries for their high drain capabilities -- the red AW, Efest, or similar, like
these.
Yes! Something that is capable of delivering up to 10A.
The ICR's are fine for use in low drain devices.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but my
Oh Sierra! alarm went off when I saw that cell sitting there.
