All Hi-drain / Hi-discharge batteries are good with the WAE-II. Thus, those AW-IMRs are just fine as also the Hybrid batteries.
However, the longevity of the WAE-II will depend on the mAh of the battery inside. Higher the mAh = longer battery life. The Sony VTC series (hybrids) are superb for the DNA30D ~ but their low mAh dictate a faster change-over time between batteries. Their VTC5, at 2600mAh & 30A discharge is one of the best and recommended for the WAE-II.
But I am also using the Panasonic NCR18650PD (2900mAh, 10A discharge, Hybrid) - and this is as good as it gets in terms of high mAh, thus longer life, for our WAE-II. This is highly recommended!
I also have a higher mAh Panasonic, which works bloody well in my mechs ~ but not so in my WAE-II. The Panasonic NCR18650A (3100mAh). It works ~ but gives intermittent "poor battery" msg, which is a pita and thus not recommended. Note: The battery is good, but that 'poor battery' message is due to it not being a "high discharge" battery.
