Battery recommendation (Safety and Performance)

[Foggy]

Hello,

I just recently upgraded to the TopBox Mini by Kangertech from a cheaper, internal battery type mod and I was hoping for some advice on the best batteries to look for. I know that there are differences in what material is used in them, their discharge capacity and overall storage capacity, however in doing some research on my own, I found myself a bit overwhelmed.

My TopBox Mod is rated at 75 watts and I prefer to use Clapton Coils .5 ohms. I have found with the e-juice I use that I get pretty good clouds at around 35-37 watts. The battery I am currently using is a Lit IMR 18650 3.7v 3400mAh 35A. I got it at a local vape shop but I have a feeling I can find better batteries online.

Based on that information, does anyone have a suggestions for batteries that are relatively safe and provide good performance based on my usage?

Thanks,
Foggy

Your battery is a rewrap, have no idea what Lit stands for.
If it has higher capacity then 3000 mAh then it's most likely only a 10A battery, which is only to be used up to 30W

For best performance and capacity, you should use one of the following 20A 3000 mAh batteries
Samsung 30Q: http://liionwholesale.com/search?type=product&q=30Q
LG HG2: http://liionwholesale.com/search?type=product&q=hg2
And stay away from rewraps.

Thanks nightshard! In looking at batteries I also found the Sony US18650VTC5 2600mAh. Do you have any experience or thoughts on that battery?

Again, thanks!

Never mind on that Sony battery. I decided to go with the LG HG2. Looking forward to a battery that won't die on me in less than an hour.

Samsung 25r 18650, have the same starter mod you just got and that's what I have been using in it

Thanks for your help all! I got the LG H2's and could not be happier. Snagged an Xtar VP4 charger as well and now I am all set. Really appreciate everyone's suggestions.

Thanks,
