Vamo Battery Question

[cocacola31173]

Ok so still looking for a Vamo at tax time but I have never used the batteries that you use with them. What size would I need if I want to make it a "mini" and what size if I want it long. Also what does it mean if a battery is "protected"? And what kind of charger would I need for those batteries. and last but not least what is the general lifespan of these batteries?

Thanks!

For a Vamo you want IMR batteries, not protected. IMRs have safer chemistry and are designed to handle high drain.
An IMR 18650 is the long size, and an IMR 18350 the short size. The lifespan will depend on the number of charge cycles, which is about 500 charges. Generally you would replace them after a year.

A lot of people get the batteries and chargers from RTD Vapor. Here's what you would need:

Charger:
Battery Chargers : Xtar WP2 II

Any of these batteries - two of whichever brand:
18605s
AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh
or
Batteries : Efest IMR 18650 Button Top
or
Batteries : Panasonic Hybrid/ IMR CGR18650CH Button Top

18350s:
Batteries : AW IMR 18350 3.7V 700mAh
or
Batteries : Efest IMR 18350 Button Top
