Sigelei 100W batteries?

[thebatfink]

Hi, being as I've been scared to death with what types of batteries are safe in devices after hearing what can happen with them, I was wondering what is safe in this box mod if I went and brought one..

I have these:

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Efest-20A-purple-IMR-18650-3100mAh-flat-top-3-7v-Li-Ion-protective-case-/301350226154?pt=UK_ConsumerElectronics_Batteries_SM&hash=item4629df88ea

are these going to be safe in there? I'd rather not randomly exploded For info, just looking at this for the long life, I have no intentions of vaping at crazy watts, like 10-15.

Thanks for the help!

Personally i use these pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=361061558471&alt=web as they are Sony vtc 4's underneath. Not in stock at moment.
Also to add because these are basically stacked batteries always use the same 2 together in the mod and charge them together. I have 2 sets just for the sigelei 100w.

Personally I would go with Sony VTC3, VTC4 or VTC5s. The ones you have are pretty good, but I`d go for the extra current handling of the Sonys, getting hard to find at a good price though.

They are as they have stopped making them i think robby.

The xtar i linked above are vtc 4's re wrapped for xtar.

But will the efests have problems? Should we use protected batteries when they are in series?

[robby]

Looking at the link you posted thebatfink, 3100mah is surprisingly high for a 20A battery. You should always keep them as a pair and charge them as a pair. Mark them clearly with permanent ink marker. You dont use protected batteries in 100Watt mods. They wont allow the current flow required

These are a good battery for the 100watt mod.

I use vtc4s in one of mine, and keep power inrs (2500mah) in my other two.

I'd say the inrs slightly edge it for me.

They are the cells that efest use in the purple 18650s

It says 3100mah on the OP though Dan

the purple efest will be fine in the 100w box aslong as you stick between the 10-20 watt range

This is why I won't buy efest cells anymore.. they're so unscrupulous about what they rewrap and they also give misleading information about the amp capabilities..

It`s a pity, not long ago their reputation was pretty good, I bet it`s cost them a few quid
