What Do You Think Of This?

Great post @Derick

@Riaz, i bought two Efest 30 amp high drain batteries from Derick at Skyblue. Using them in my SVD even though they are actually intended for a mech mod. But they are working beautifully. Lovely performance and they last long. Dont take a chance on batteries. Buy the best, then you can use them for all applications. Im no expert but i think this is the right way to go.

thanks for the advice @Silver1

Thanks @Silver1 - yep agree with you, plus you are really undertaxing those batteries, which means they will take a lot more cycles (charge/discharge) than someone that is pushing them to their limits

nicely said @Derick

Just for interest sake here is a protected battery where they have taken the covering off and you can see the PCB

All PCB's are not equal of course - some of the better ones will actually switch off the battery when you let the voltage drop too low - and then they can only be switched on again by putting them in a charger

Others work more like a fuse and will switch off, never to be switched on again.

Because of the PCB, the protected batteries are also slightly larger than the unprotected, so they don't even fit into some mods.

UNProtected batteries are exactly the same as this one below, just no PCB (printed circuit board)
