Never use a protected ICR battery in a
mod. Use only unprotected IMR (safe-chemistry, high-drain)
batteries.
I did some research on your mod (
GUS Telescopic V2) and found out the following:
- It can accept 18350, 18490/18500, and 18650 size batteries.
- With a Kick2, it will need an 18350 or 18490/18500 battery. The Kick takes up some room in the battery compartment, so you won't be able to fit an 18650 with a Kick.
- The Kick2 requires a high-drain IMR battery. It does not have reverse battery protection, so never put your battery in backwards or you will fry its circuit board.
- You should be able to use either a flat or button-top battery.
I suggest using the larger 18490/18500 size battery, especially since you will be using your mod with a Kick2, and should you decide to use sub-ohm coils in an RBA. This will give you longer time of use than the smaller 18350 size batteries, and an amp rating between 15 - 16.5 amps. Your two choices will be the AW IMR and purple Efest; I'm partial to the AW brand myself.
AW 18490 IMR 1100mah 16.5 amps continuous discharge rate
purple Efest 18500 1100mah 15 amps continuous discharge rate
Should you decide to go with the smaller 18350 batteries, you'll get shorter time of use than the larger batteries, and have an amp rating between only 6 (AW) and 10 amps (purple Efest). The higher amp rating of the Efest makes it more attractive than the AW in this size.
AW 18350 IMR 700mah 6 amps continuous discharge rate
purple Efest 18350 IMR 700mah 10 amps continuous discharge rate
Ohm's Law calculations:
1.0 ohm = 4.2 amp draw
0.9 ohm = 4.6 amp draw
0.8 ohm = 5.2 amp draw
0.7 ohms = 6 amp draw (AW 18350 amp limit; Kick2 amp limit)

0.6 ohms = 7 amp draw
0.5 ohms = 8.4 amp draw
0.4 ohms = 10.5 amp draw (purple Efest 18350 amp limit)
0.3 ohms = 14.0 amp draw (AW18490/purpleEfest18500 amp limit)
0.2 ohms = 21.0 amp draw
0.1 ohms = 42.0 amp draw
