Understanding battery charts and ratings?

[sbc83]

I'm in search of a long lasting 18650 for a regulated mod. It will be used at 2amps max (1.8ohm @ around 6-7 watts). I've come across a site that has detailed charts of certain batteries and I would like to know what to look for when reading them. Do I want to look for highest mah @ 3.7v with a 2amp load?

This site is probably nothing new to most of you but it's new to me.

AkkuDB

This battery has a lot more mah @ 3.6-3.7v at 2a than most I've seen.

For vaping purposes, when you are reading those charts/graphs if you are comparing one battery to another(such as the last link you provided) you should pay attention to which battery stays above around 3.4V for the longest(most mAh) at a given drain amperage, the reason I choose 3.4V is because it is the lowest standing voltage you should let the batteries get to during vaping usage before charging them.

For your specific uses you outlined, the LG MH1 is probably the best 18650 available with the most capacity above 3.4V and since you plan to go no where near 10A it is a spectacular battery for the application.

Edit: In case you were curious, here is the LG Datasheet for the MH1 battery cell - http://d112tss1dzpest.cloudfront.ne...r/26/files/2014/12/INR18650MH1_LGC.pdf?323d81

Thanks for the helpful post!

I have yet to find a battery that has better stats for my application than the MH1. Thank you for reassuring my thoughts on this battery, just wanted to be sure I was looking at the specs correctly and not missing any tidbits of info.

ya the lg but not by much over a panasonic BD as soon as you cross 3 amps though the bd will last longer in reality we are talking minutes here though
