vtc5 is there a big differnce from efest 2800mah 35a ?

[banditruss]

hi again 
just wondering how much of a difference there was between the vtc5 and the efest 2800mah 35a batteries, not long bought 2 efests was going to get 2 more but thinking of swapping to the vtc5's  (not a problem can pass the efest's onto my son ) so either 2 more efest or get four vtc5's...only at that price difference i hope they would live up to their legend !!what do you guys think ? enough of a difference for the price difference ?
cheers russ

The VTC has 50% more the rating (EFest misrepresent theirs quoting max discharge rate), but the VTC5 is expensive and I would only get it for very high powered devices (> 50 W per battery) 25Rs and LG HE2s are generally better value, but only 22 & 20 A. VTC4 are better for low sub-ohming in mechs, lower mAh, but also lower voltage sag.

thx looking for some for the ivp3 li (200w) and siegel 165w when it comes out, currently on a vt40....thinking ahead as ecoluxshop only have 7 sets left and really want best set i can...as long as thier worth it lol ...i tried the 25r's and wasnt impressed over the efests :S....only using reg mods what do you think

Go for it if you can afford it, they have the highest current rating so will be great in anything. I still have 10 Panasonic 10 A IMRs good batteries, but I out grew them so it can be cheaper to spend the extra sometimes.

thx that was the point i can just.... get them with what i have available but didnt want waste money...im a tight git ,dont mind shelling out but its got to be good thx ill take a punt on them cheers

Definitely not at high watts, good rule is pick batteries with (MaxWattage/2.5)/NumOfBatteries continuous current rating.

funnily enough gm111 the snowolf came today ....yep he running it on the efest 2800mah 35a...might be a problem ?

[gm111]

May not be a problem banditruss, but I don't think he should go past 100w with them. Ripshod could you confirm if he could go higher please?

[banditruss]

funnily enough thats what i said to him.....be good to get confirmation though just incase he goes higher ...you know what kids are like

Ayy we aren't kids hahaha

[gm111]

I know if he got vtcs banditruss, then he could go upto 150w so he could basically use the whole 200w as anything above 150w is pulse mode

[banditruss]

trouble is he wont shell out for them lol

[Ripshod]

150Watts is the max for 2 VTC5s. The 35Amp purple efests are really 20Amp, so 100Watt max for 2 of those.

Agree with the best option being the VTC4s at the moment, unless you really want the extra capacity and go for the VTC5s. I never advise going above the CDR as we never know how long a pulse is, with some cells it can be as short as 0.7 seconds.

[gm111]

Whaat, tell him straight banditruss haha! Ahh I tried, they'll be 100x safer, if those Efests vented and blew up because he went to 120w he'd wished he payed the £8 extra, I'm not saying they are going too but I can't say they wouldn't either, safety comes 1st, it's just not worth the risk. That's why I got them and I'm going to get another pair too or some vtc4/3s, maybe he should invest in some of them instead, they put out the same 30a continuous but a bit cheaper
Vtc4s = 13.50 pair
Vtc3s = £9 pair
