Batteries and Charger for VTR?

[newdawn]

Well, that's cleared that up then. Good grief...I'm so confused now!

Hi newdawn,
Apologies for creating more confusion over this.
The truth is that only the engineers from Innokin know the limits as they designed the regulator circuit that supplies the power to the unit.
Without the schematic and pcb layout (gerber files) of the VTR it is not really possible to determine where these limits lie.
As a vendor we can obviously not suggest out of spec (the one we were informed of) operation.

As a owner you can choose whether the risk of a possible premature failure vs operating time is acceptable to you.

Mah isn't a very good guide to internal resistance although it does play a role.

Here are two batteries, one way above the 2600mah limit at 3400mah and one below, both with the same internal resistance of 55mohm :

Innokin recommend IMR batteries which as far as I know don't come any higher than 2600 mAH so this debate about anything higher is irrelevant if you want to go with Innokin's advice.
