I wouldn't get the kit, the charger and batteries are questionable. Just get the standalone VAMO, a decent charger (actually fasttech just listed XTARs, they're the highest rated) and some good IMR batteries...

XTAR Chargers, take your pick Found 11 xtar charger at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

What combination or type battery do I want for the longest usage time on the Vamo, I drive truck so some days are long.

Get these monsters here, I get 2 days of heavy vaping out of them on any of my VV/VW mods: $15.31 Panasonic NCR18650B Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium Batteries 2-pack - authentic cells / 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Now, before anybody else jumps in on this, these are safer chemistry than straight Lithium-Ion, but are NOT IMR, so they may explode if shorted. While fine in a VV/VW with protection, you DO NOT want to use them on any mechanical mod without protection.
Get this XTAR WPS2 charger $26.18 XTAR WP2S Dual Channels Intelligent Li-Ion Battery Charger - US plug at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping or this XTAR VP1 (with built-in voltage meter $32.89 XTAR VP1 Dual Channels Multi-Functional Li-Ion Battery Charger - US plug at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping. Either one comes with a car adapter and at 1A will charge those puppies in about 4 hours and put those Intellichargers to shame.

That is EXACTLY what I got - same SVD, same batteries, same NiteCore.
Been a couple months, and everything is working perfectly - I am HAPPY.
Hope you like it too!

Those NCR18650PD Panasonic batteries last ALL DAY.

I could NOT find what I considered a great shorter battery on FastTech - so I went and got AW IMR 18490's from RTD Vapor for when I want my SVD to be a little smaller...

Hope I don't confuse you more. I can't tell what type of batteries those are. The charger is the one I use. Some complain about it.. other say it's great. It works for me for a month with no issues.

The batteries may be fine but they just read as sony's.

What I would do?

http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10004394/1394901-vamo-v3-variable-voltage-e-........-mod-battery
Stainless stell vamo v3 mod.. I believe this is what you were looking for. 36.00

http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/...ore-i2-lithium-li-ion-ni-mh-ni-cd-smart-batte

Nitecore I2 charger. 15 bucks

$13.62 Panasonic NCR18650PD 18650 3.6V 2900mAH Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries (2-Pack) 2-pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Panny PD x650 batteries. 14 bucks.

Total 65 bucks which is 7 bucks more than the 58.00.

Also the AW site for the x350 batteries.

The above is what I did but insert SVD for Vamo.
