Question about Sigelei 100Plus and batteries

[makuto]

Hi guys, I am receiving my new sigelei 100w Plus box mod tomorrow .. But the batteries I ordered (Samsung 25R) are delayed and will be getting here next wednesday or thursday. I know that you have to use "Married" batteries but I currently have my very trusted Original Sony VTC4's that I use with my mech mods. My question is, is it okay to use them with the Sigelei while I the Samsung 25R get here or should I wait for them? I've had the VTC4's for about 4 months and used them daily. I never discharge them under 3.6 volts and have a Nitecore i4 charger.

Thanks!

I used my batts I had in my mechs when I first got my IPV3..they worked fine, but just to be sure they are fully charged and you should be fine too..

The VTC4s obviously aren't married right? I think you should be fine but I personally feel better about using married batteries. Its just for a little while while your married ones come in though so I really think you will be all right. A little secret: one time while I was waiting for my three married sets of VTC4s a while back to use in rotation in my new dual battery devices I to used unmarried batteries. Nothing happened.

Ok. Thanks!, Also Samsung 25R are a good set of batteries for the Sigelei 100+?

That's what I am using in mine and they are performing great.

Until you get your married just swap out and charge your batteries a little earlier than normal. I was changing mine at about 65/70 percent and everything worked out fine.

I think all this married battery stuff is fussing over nothing ..I just make sure my two batts chosen are the same make and same amp ratings... And I always make sure they are fully charged at the same 4.2v ..no worries at all...

I kind of agree with you but you know "better safe then sorry" so I do keep 4 married sets around for exclusive use in my dual box mods. Samsung 25r is a great battery. Its not a 30amp but I doubt you will pull more amp then it can handle. Its 25 amp right? You should be fine HOWEVER if your setting it to the full 100w and using an extremely low res build it may pull more amps then that battery can handle but I highly doubt you are going to be using that low of a build and I don't even know if the Sig could handle a build that low.

Yes, a pair of 25R's can - easily - handle anything a 100watt mod can possibly throw at them. You're fine using your VTC4's until the 25R's arrive.

Oh, I guess I am wrong. I knew I most likely was but I thought that like a 0.1 ohm build at 100w would pull just about 30 amps from the battery. I don't think many people would ever use that setup lol but I just thought it was possible to pull more amps then the Samsung could provide using the Sig

I have two IPV3's..that said I run a set of the Imren 38A batts in one and a set of the 35A purple Efest batts in the other for the past 2 months..both have run RDA's and lately the Atlantis sub tank without any issues at all...I guess you can say in a way I do "marry" the batts by making sure they're the same brand and amp ratings, but I have used them in my 18650 XXIX mech before getting these box mods...

To calculate amp draw in regulated mod, it's Wattage / (Battery voltage), resistance is irrelevant.

So with 2 fully charge batteries in series, you're pulling 100/8.4 ~ 11 amps at 100 watts.

Even if the batteries are discharged to the ultra low 3 volts each, that would be 100/6 ~ 17 amps, and those Samsungs will keep on trucking.

That's how the math looks for batteries in series. The math looks a little different for parallel, but it takes us to the same conclusion.

In your example of 8.4v/100w the ohm law calculator shows it has a .7 ohm resistance to pull that 11A load..so resistance is always a factor, even in a regulated mod...

Resistance has no bearing on battery current drain in a regulated, VW mod. The only determinants for battery current drain are your power setting and realtime battery voltage. Your atomizer resistance only affects the board's output voltage and output current. Using a simple Ohm's Law calculator isn't the correct tool to calculate battery drain in this case.

Plug in your numbers and then start changing the atomizer resistance values. You'll see that battery current drain remains unchanged.

No worries.. I don't need to calculate how long my batts last with a batt display showing me every time I push the button...but thx anyway!
