Vamo V2 Batteries

[potter3]

I am new to ecf and i am sure this has been posted somewhere before i just cant kind it. I was wandering what is the difference in the batteries (imr, brc) and all the rest that is out there, and what is the best kind to run in the vamo v2

IMR, unprotected. AW, Efests or Panasonic. Two 18350's - allows the full power of the Vamo or one 18650. Here are a couple of sites that sell them:

Efest IMR 18350 800mAh 3.7V LiMn Battery Flat Top or Nipple Tops (2PCS) (FREE shipping)

Note: get the button top - they fit better. And here is the Vamo sub-forum which has a "sticky" thread just on batteries:

do not get protected batteries....the protection circuit on the batteries will trip causing the rig to shut down

This happened on my V3

A basic rundown of replaceable, rechargeable batteries used in mods:

• NCR Li Ion Lithium ion class batteries, also called "protected batteries".
  
  These are batteries that have a built-in protective circuit. This is because they contain a volatile chemistry that can become unstable when hot, and when short circuited can vent with flame in an event that is called "thermal runaway". If safe battery practices and common sense is used, they are considered relatively safe.
  
  These batteries have a higher capacity (mAh rating) than IMR batteries, and are primarily used in single voltage applications where long battery time is the primary objective.

• IMR Li Mn. Lithium manganese class batteries. Also called "high drain", "safer chemistry", and "unprotected" batteries.
  
  Use a safer and more stable chemistry and therefore do not require built-in protective circuits in the battery. These generally are used in regulated mods that use boost circuits to achieve variable voltage-wattage, but they can also be used in single voltage mechanical mods, especially when using sub ohm vaping.
  
  This class will have less capacity in mAh rating compared to protected batteries, but are superior to them when maximum load current is required, such as in regulated mods or mechanical mods using sub ohm.

thanks you guys for all the help
