Over 250amp continuous and fits a B box

That's going in my next box mod

This will limit the mod too 133w just incase you didn't know.

Would you recommend something else for an unregulated box mod?

You don't want to be using one in an unregulated box, you need a chip with a balancing connector on it as far as I'm concerned.

You can't use this as its only a 1cell battery, it has to be 3 cells.. Well you can use 2cell but it limits the watts to 133.. Hope this helps

I am happy to have my own mod not going over 100W as I don't feel I need that kind of power... At the minute. 
Especially that my road to my own box mod is still long and a bit twisty as need to research a bit more
But that helps a lot to be fair.

Which 3 cell battery would you recommend with similar mah rating if you don't mind me asking?

Best thing I could ask is how much mah in 18650s do you go through a day? Something like this maybe, would be equivalent to approx 4500mah of 18650s

If that is equivalent of 4500mah in 18650's then I am more than happy to use that!
Would give me plenty of charge I think. 

I was going through dual 18650's a day on my E-Mech, so I would say 2100mah as they were connected in series if I remember correctly?
And that's chain vaping  , so this would be an improvement!
Or just fit 2 like those and have a monster device... 



So have had a look around on that website I am thinking... Should I use one of those instead of connecting 2 in parrarel?

It may seem like overkill I know but I would like to try and get like at least 2 days without having to think about charging...

Why? It's very common and so far no issues I've heard of. You have a meter connected to keep an eye on the volts and use common sense to charge it as and when and not run it down to much.

Maybe not for the newbie but yeh, just another power source for an unregulated box

I don't know then really but that's not my cup of tea, I take it you want to charge the battery out of the enclosure?

I take it you mean two 2100mah batteries in series? That would be 4200mah a day, which is about the same as me.. So you'd want a

I take it that's two 2100 mah batteries which would mean you use 4200mah a day, so say 8400mah every 2 days.. You would need a 2800 mah 3s lipo too last you 2 days.
