The newest 18650 going is called "Vamped". Being pushed heavily by Vapor Hub as being the first 40 amp 18650 on the market. This is also the first 18650 marketed directly at vapors with its "vapor cells" wrapper. 101 is rolling them out at a good price.

Joe, you have any idea who is manufacturing these batteries or if they are just a re-branded battery?

Joe posted it so you have to buy it ;-). After a couple days these really seem to work nice. I use a Genesis style and it works great for that. Better then the efest Purple that I have heard it compared to.

 

[Masked Vaper]

Well obviously lol and hmmm I think I might get me a couple

 

[VaporJoe]

I bought 4.. going to test them out.

Would be interested in hearing more about these myself. My question would be does Maximum Discharge = Maximum Continuous Discharge, because if not, the Sony VTCx batteries could just as easily be branded as a new brand sdince they can easily hit 40, 50, 60+ amps in short spurts of a few seconds at a time, thus someone could simply peel off that label, shrink a new one on it and call it a 50 amp if they wanted to be a little dishonest about it.

This is based off the Sony label floating around for the VTC4's. I have it bookmarked someone, though I'm sure others have seen it as well.

This is what I've been pulling for the Sony VTC5's:

Sony VTC5 battery 30A High drain US18650VTC5 2600mAh
1. Nominal capacity:2600mAh
2. Rated capacity: 2500mAh
3. Nominal voltage: 3.6V
4. Charge voltage: 4.20±0.05V
5. Cut-off voltage: 2.5V
6. Max.charge voltage: 4.25V
7. Continuous maximum charge current: 4A
8. Continuous plus charge current: 12A
9. Continuous maximum discharge current: 30A
10. Maximum discharge current: 60A
10. Weight: 44.3g Average
11. Dimision:
Diameter: Max. 18.35mm
Length: Max. 65.20mm

So the maximum here would be 60amp's in short bursts, but not a continuous burst, though no definite on what the actual maximum is. This based on the fact that the VTC4 can burst higher than 60amps, though I'd imagine the VTC5 falls into pretty much the same limits since the only major difference is the higher mah rating.

And then for the VTC4's, see the attached image. This is a label from Sony, from what everyone has said, which is for the VTC4's specifically. I would imagine the VTC5's can do the same.

From this image, it would seem the VTC4 can handle a 40amp burst for 80 seconds without an issue, a 50amp at 40 seconds and a 60amp at 30 seconds. That's why I ask about the actual labeling to confirm it's not mislabeled as many batteries are. If it can truly only handle 40amp at Max Discharge Current, and that's the real label, it's actually worse than a VTC4/VTC5 would be.

If the 40amp limit is Maximum Continuous Discharge, then it'd be nice to know what the real Max Discharge Current is, but as it stands, I'd like more info before spending money on a new and unknown battery at this point.
