21700 batteries and charger

[kailey]

I have just bought an Eleaf Pico 21700. I was hoping that size of battery would fit into my current charger but they do not so I am looking for a new charger. Would the Xtar VC4 be an easy to use suitable one?

I am also looking for more batteries. Would the Basen 21700 be safe for vaping at around 0.2 ohms up to 60 watts or would it be better to stick with the same that came with the Pico, namely the Avatar 21700?

The Xstar charger will be fine. I bought one of these and it's been faultless, charges at 1.6A across all four bays. Any of the two batteries you have indicated will be fine, both are rated at 20A continuous discharge, 0.2ohms @ 60w is 16/17amps so no problem.

Thank you striker42

Very low internal resistance in these batteries meaning the battery sag is greatly reduced when they start to run down which in turn means they last longer per charge and also due to the low internal resistance they will deliver a more potent punch than a standard 21700. Well worth a look if your budget can stretch to them.

I kept being called away and by the time I got time to make an order the Basen had disappeared so I went for the Vapcell 21700 (40T) and the VC4. Batteries worry me so thanks for your help everyone.

You're going to need a 2amp USB charger too kailey for the VC4 as they don't come with the power supply. If you're charging 4 batteries the charge rate drops to .5 but if you have 2 batteries just stick them in port one and four and you'll get the 1 amp charge rate.
