The NCR18650B may have a 3400 mAh rating, however, its discharge curve is based on discharging to 2.5v. The NCR18650B puts out almost half of its 3400mAh under 3.4v. The SVD will cut off at its low voltage setting at 3.2v.IMO exactly in that order from top to bottom. People say the NCR18650B is not a high drain battery and not to use it in a regulated mod, but it's perfect for the the svd, zmaxs, evic IMO. It has a 6.8amp limit and the SVD has a 5amp limit so you won't be stressing the battery even at its limits. I would def go with that because of the higher 3400mAh over the 2900mAh of the PF or 2600mAh with the VTC.
The NCR18650PF and the Sony VTC are both great batteries that would work great in the SVD, but I would rather the higher mAhs since the SVD wouldn't really be able to take advantage of the full capabilities of the other cells anyways.

The extra mAh of the 18650B will not be realized.
Real AW IMRs are great batteries. I use AWs 18350/500s in my ZMAX when I want it smaller footprint as well. If were talking 18350/500 batteries you can't get better then the AWs. I will also use the purple eFest 350/500s. Very good batteries just not as good as the AWs, but far less chance of receiving fakes. People love selling fake AWs online so if your buying AWs be sure to buy from reliable venders. ;-)
Its a bit disappointing really. With all the advancements with the 18650s out there, I really wish they'd improve on the 18350/500 cells as well. I absolutely love the size of my mods in 350 mode.
AW IMR's are a high drain, safe chemistry battery. This is the class of battery which should be used in both regulated and mechanical mods. Newer IMR/hybrid batteries are the next upper level of IMR batteries.Question. What about this battery for my SVD?

Whats the difference in AW IMR and AW Protected?
I would say the Panasonic PF is the best for a regulated mod. It has the best combination of adequate amps (10 amps continuous) and mah capacity (2900 mah) best suited for the application of a regulated mod.View attachment 371371
which one is best in my itaste svd?
