Not working on my phone.

Anywho ... if its IMR (high drain) and 18650 it should work. The vamo is pretty forgiving when it comes to battery size so length won't matter much.

I use 65mm flat tops in mine with no issues.

I don't read Spanish, but most IMR or ni-mn batteries come in red packaging. Blue batteries (like the ones in your link) generally indicate ni-mh. You do not want to use unprotected ni-mh batteries. I wouldn't buy them unless you are sure they are IMR/li-mh (LiMn2O4).

 

[Underwhelmed]

Those aren't IMR, they are lithium ion batteries like you would use in a notebook computer battery pack.

Battery casing color has no meaning. Samsung uses pink, Panasonic uses grey, Desay uses blue ... etc etc.

I use Desay ICR18650s with no issues. (They're high drain)

Great! Thanks! I'll stock up on IMR batts then!

mmmm these are 5amp batteries they should work for most situations just fine- but more like medium drain, high drain is classified as 10Amp

Where did you find the 5 amp info on the Desay? Been looking for that info.

Luckily the vamo won't fire above 5 amps and I never really come close to hitting those kinda amps anywhoo.

Nono, that's Argentine pesos, exchange rate about 5 pesos=1 dollar. About 8 dollars each battery. I'm searching for high drain here.

Yep, Vamo is limited at 5amps.

 

[GrimmTech]

realistically 5 amps at an average 4v puts you at 20watts. What is low batt cut off? Even @ 3.2v 5A gives you 16w, thats more than the Vamo produces..

It doesn't work that way. A single battery in a boosted configuration would need to put out considerably more amps than what is read at the atty, especially as the battery drains it will have to provide high and higher amps to maintain a consistent/regulated output. There is also the efficiency loss that any regulated assembly has.
