Vamo V5 Battery question

[PoeDung]

Hi,
Not sure if this should go here or in the battery section..
I just got the Vamo V5 with the efest imr battery to start. Is it ok to use the new sony vtc 30amp battery in this mod and are those batteries safe to use in the intellicore i2 charger?
Thanks

I cant answer for sure but I will say this, from what I have read, the VAMO will never come close to using 30 amps. I believe it is current limited to 5A which the IMRs can handle no problem.

The Sony's are just fine. The circuitry in the Vamo limits the max current draw at just over 5 amps. That's way over the max 1-2 amp of an ICR (protected) battery but at or way under the rating of any IMR battery. You've just paid extra for a higher discharge rate than you'll ever use.

Thank you. I'm usually running a 1.5 ohm micro coil on my Russian 91%. So I shouldn't need the sony's unless I get a mechanical and do sub ohms?

Yup. When you're down in the .5 and lower ohm range you're drawing upwards of 20+ amps. That's where the Sony's are needed.
