News headlines have outlined just how badly things can go if you don’t respect the basic rules of battery physics. This one doesn’t get funny bits in brackets because it’s serious business. Marrying batteries will result in longer battery life and not having one battery doing all the work. You buy them together, discharge them together, charge them together and yes, it’s important. Keeping the batteries together from day 1 (until death us do part). Marrying batteries is literally what it says on the tin. Keeping your batteries together – or Marrying them: IMR batteries have a chemical process that can result in running a cooler battery, but the difference in battery composition has zero effect on how hot your coils (or juice) get. The batteries are doing the work here, though. Temperature is the heat needed to power your device.
Temperature isn’t something that’s varied in the battery, per se. You won’t find batteries with both the highest amp rating and the highest mAh capacity. It’s the safe operating limit of the battery’s cell. For most, a higher amp rating (CDR or continuous discharge rate) determines better performance. A higher rating doesn’t necessarily mean a better battery. Consider them the pressure in the pipes.Ĭapacity (or mAh rating) is the approximation for how long a battery charge should last from 100% to cut-off. Volts are the power you’re applying to the current. Water flows easily through a big pipe (little resistance), and less easily through a tiny pipe (high resistance). Consider this how big the pipe is.Sub-Ohm vapers, take note. All wires also have some element of resistance to them (measured in ohms).
How fast it’s running is the current (measured in amps). Think of it like water running through a pipe. All electronics have current moving along a copper wire. Volts, amps and ohms are something you need to understand before you start poking around for variable anything devices. Few come with internal protective circuitry, so if you want this, you’ll need to fish around for added protection (third-party companies like Trustfire will do this). Virtually obsolete, but still rocking the “Big Boys” image, these deliver the highest specific energy of any 18650 battery- at a cost. These are currently the most-common and most-recommended type. Also wins points for safety and not requiring extensive built-in protective circuitry. Manganese allows batteries to discharge at a high current while maintaining low temperatures. These are high-drain batteries that exist because manganese is known for it’s reliability. Lithium IMR a.k.a Li-Mn (Lithium Manganese). There are, however, several types of lithium ion battery. The vast majority of vape batteries are lithium ion- that’s the same kind you’ll find in your phone, laptop, cordless power tools and the remote control car you totally don’t own. The cathode is the part giving each type its unique characteristic. Lithium-ion batteries consist of three parts: the cathode, the anode and the electrolyte. Not many models take 26650s, but they’re around for powering the likes of some iJoy and Aspire devices. On the clunky side, these are nevertheless power-pushing, long-lasting heavyweights that are used for one reason: they deliver.Ģ6650 – less common and recognised by being slightly wider than 18650s, these (big surprise) are 22mm in diameter and 65mm height. 18mm diameter, 65mm height and a “0” is the battery’s way of saying: “I’m cylindrical”. External batteries are useful as they can be easily replaced, as well as enable to you always keep a spare pair handy meaning you never have to worry about running out.ġ8650 – giving millennials a throwback to flashlight torch batteries, these are found in the vast majority of mods.
Unless you’re stealth vaping with a pocket-sized vape pen (or other starter kits that come with built-in batteries), you’ll likely be using what are known as external batteries.
