Are these batteries ok for SVD or Vamo?

[Village idiot formerly tjlumle]

Hi are these batteries from fasttech ok for the SVD and Vamo?

I'm not sure if that size will fit the Vamo Tj . . . hopefully someone will confirm either way if the diameter is ok or not.

If they're too fat then there are always these:

Thanks Perp I might have to email fast tech and ask if I can change them in my order after my bout of shinyitus

[Perpetua]

Or ask them if they will fit the Vamo first Tj, they're normally quite quick at responding if you raise a ticket with them.

I'm only hesitating as I know some of the higher mAH's are too large for the Vamo, these could be fine.

Would these fit in short mode?

The vamo dimension is 22mm the batteries are 18.2mm just wondering what the thickness is of the vamo now

I don't buy those. I get these.

NOT protected. Fit perfectly in my 18650 mods.

According to fast techs measurements those are bigger than the ones I ordered

What you Village idiot formerly tjlumle and Perpetua have posted are protected batteries. They are slighty longer (2 or 3mm) and fatter than stanmdard 18650's as they have an extra cct board on one end and extra sleeving. If they do fit they will be very snug. You do not need protected batteries in the Vamo and these ones are suitable....

www.fasttech.com/products/1420/10001980/1141105 (equivalent to your selected ones).
or www.fasttech.com/products/1420/10001980/1141102 (equiv to ones perps posted)
or www.fasttech.com/products/1420/10001980/11437 which are the ones I recommend for vamo as better value per usuable amp.hour.

The full capacity of the higher capacity NCR18650 type batteries cannot be utilised as the vamo cuts off at 3.2 volts. To get the extra capacity you need to take down to 2.8 or better still 2.5 volts for the rated capacity. Any of the unprotected panasonic batteries are suitable though.

Take the Fastech quoted dimensions with a pinch of salt - they are often wrong.

[Village idiot formerly tjlumle]

Thanks everyone for the heads up. I might email them and try and change the order to the ones you recommend Brambles are they ok to deal with in this respect?

[Balllsy]

I also have the same batteries in my Vamo as djs. You don't want protected batteries for a vamo as it has it's own protection built in.

[Brambles]

Fastech are easy to deal with if order has not been processed and packed.

[Village idiot formerly tjlumle]

It was only ordered tonight. Do the batteries you recommended fit in the SVD?

[Brambles]

Village idiot formerly tjlumle,

svd - yes, they will fit...just about anything will fit the SVD.
