NO Your need a 18650 High Drain IMR battery Like a Purple E-Fest and probably should avoid any battery from FastTech-to many fakes

Just a bit of warning about buying batteries from FT:

Batteries only ship by surface mail. This will mean 30 to 45 days in transit.

I use Panasonic NCR18650PF batteries in my Vamo v5 with good results.

Illumination Supply has them for a reasonable price and they ship quickly from CA.

As anumber1 said, your order from Fasttech will take a while to get to you. My experience has been that as long as they say 'authentic' in the product listing the item will be authentic.

The CGR18650CH is a 10 amp 2250 mAh battery that was released a while back. 10 amps is enough to run the Vamo well. The Panasonic NCR18650PD or PF is better at 10 amp and 2900 mAh. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last between charges. Fasttech offer authentics of them too and as anumber1 also said, Illumination Supply offer the CGR18560CH and the NCR18650PF too for a few bucks more with what will probably be much faster shipping to you if that matters.

Stay away from those, as well as anything with "fire" in it. You want a battery with high drain. Preferably 35-50v. I recommend the eFest 18650. I use this in my mods and it will last me all day and gives out great power!

Let us know where you find those 35 to 50 volt 18650s.

Care to cite your source for accusing Fasttech of selling fake batteries?

Best batteries in the 18560 range I have come across are sony batteries. It is very difficult to find sony batteries but if you scoot on over to RTD vapor they have XTAR 18650's which are actually Sony VTC4's for $12 each. I just picked up 4 to pair with other devices. At least with these you really need to mess up on a mech mod to blow your hand off.
