What batteries should I use for the Reuleaux RX200S

Those will work fine but a 30 amp 1500mah battery won't last as long between charges as a 20 amp 2500mah like a Samsung 25R or the like. That said with 3 batteries you won't have to charge that often. I use LG HE2's and HE4's in mine and they work well.
Really depends on the how low of a coil build your going to go with and how many watts your going to push.
The higher the watts (and lower the ohms) the more AMPS your going to need.
Use the Steam-Engine calcs to get a full understanding.

To answer your specific question --- yes. They will work. However see my post above.
Up to 180W your best option is 20A 3000mAh batteries.
Samsung 30Q
Sony VTC6
LG HG2
You can build as low as the mod will allow.

In a regulated device the resistance of the coils has nothing to do with the amp drain on the batteries.
@nightshard | does it not still have to fall within the performance of the Amp limit and Amp limit headroom?
Example: http://www.steam-engine.org/batt.asp?b=LG_18650HG2&mah=3000&c=6.666666666666667
LG-HG2 battery. Trying to run a .1ohm coil at 250W is showing an amp limit of 20A (Mooch is 15A). The calc is showing over amp by 231%
-- I'm open to schooling. I'm still new to all of this but reading and learning fast.

The mod itself may have it's own amp limit in order to protect the chip and this amp limit is calculated based on ohm's law.
So if the resistance is too low and the wattage is too high it will reach this limit the mod would lower the wattage to accommodate.
At the same time the amp draw on the battery itself would be different and is calculated as follows:
(Wattage/current battery voltage/number of batteries)/mod efficiency %
So for example running a 2 battery mod at 200W with a 0.5 coil with batteries at 3.2V with 90% efficiency would mean:
20A at the chip and 34A at the batteries.

I've purchased from Lion Wholesale. Very fast shipping and excellent service thus far.

Yep, them and Imrbatteries.com are the only places I source my batteries from. I also agree with the Samsung 30Q for the Reuleaux, either them or Sony VTC5A's
