I always used which ever 18650 batteries I had laying around. ranging from aw's and efest's. The biggest thing for me was getting a higher mah usually around 2000mah for longevity. Im a heavy vaper and would need 2 batteries a day. My wife still uses her vamo and uses 1 18350 800mah efest all day, but is a much lighter vaper then me.
if you dont have any then these will do nicely

Stay away from ICR batteries, look for imr they are a safer battery, like the aw imr 18650 2000mah or the aw imr 18350 700 mah
Everyone's been having real problems getting batteries shipped from China where Fasttech is at. AW and Efest batteries and a Nitecore Intellicharger i4 are what I use.

I'd grab some AW brand if I was in the market. There's not a lot of difference in price, and they seem to perform better than the stock batteries that came with my Sigelei.
Word on the street is that you shouldn't buy batteries from Fasttech right now. They'll get held in customs and/or possibly returned to Fasttech.
I'm currently using Sony US18650V3s in my Vamo V5 and the Intellicharger I2.

That's exactly what I just received yesterday. I ordered them with a new V5. Seem to work great so far. I blew my budget so I got a trustfire tr-001 charger for now. I like the charger, but next month's budget has an allotment for a nitecore i4. I ordered everything from the same vendor linked above. Shipping was great. Ordered Tuesday morning. Shipped from Boise Idaho to upstate SC and had in my hand Friday. In my excitement I just popped one in the Vamo to try it out, but then quickly took it back out to charge both new batteries completely. This is where the new charger comes in. Mine does the job, no complaints there, but it doesn't do it fast when set to the lower 3.0V setting. I personally always charge batteries low and slow and never unattended.
I haven't got them yet, but I also ordered THESE to use the smaller form factor of the V5.
If choosing to have batteries shipped from FT it's going to be expensive as you'll have to use specialty shipping. On my Vamos I use:
CGR18650CH Panasonic 18650 Li-Mn-Li-ion CGR18650CH High Drain 10A Rechargeable IMR Hybrid Battery Cell
and for a charger:

The above Vendor is reputable and you can be assured you won't be receiving knockoffs- a HUGE problem within the battery industry.
