Safe/your batteries for TC

[cwookj]

Hello, I have a sigelei 75w and I was wondering what batteries you guys use? I know that for mechs and regulated mods you don't want to build lower than V/I resistance(right?) but for TC I am running mostly <0.1 builds. Seems unsafe but when firing it I haven't seen it go above 4.2V, does this mean I can put in whatever? I use a Samsung INR 25R right now, I'm about to buy a few more of those or sony vtc4's.

Thanks in advance

That 25R is about perfect. I tend to run the VTC4s in everything, but I am a mekkie, would never put any other battery in a mech, and don't care to have a lot of batteries of different specs lying around. However, the 25R can handle the load of the Sig, and it has a few hundred more mAh than the VTC4s. It would be a solid choice. OTOH, the VTC4 has a thicker safety margin, at the expense of a bit of battery life. You make the call, but I don't think you can go wrong with either. If it were a 100 watt mod, I'd say the Sonys. But it's not...

I did not know 25R had higher life than VTC. Would you recommend another battery that I can run low ohm TC on but with higher battery life than the 25R? I can barely go half a day with one, really missing my old istick battery life

The manufacturer recommends using a 30a CDR battery, it is in the user manual.
Considering they claim it has a 25a limit I wouldn’t use anything less than a 30a cdr battery.

Single battery + high amp drain = poor battery life.

Woah, I just saw that. Got so excited after I got the sigelei I only looked at how to change to tc mode. Any experience with LG HE2 30a or 35a? It says 20a but 35a "pulse"??????

Thanks! LG HB6 it is then, but if only 1500mAh life would not be very good would it...Maybe buy like 4?

I'd use the vtc4 if I just had to use a single battery 25a limit APV.

In both my Snow Wolf and Sigelei 75, I use Sony VTC5's. In my SX Mini I use Samsung 25R's. My rDNA40 came with a LG HE2. When I still had my IPV4, I used Orbtronic SX30's in it. I no longer have the IPV4, but I still have a pair of SX30's.
