![]() To cover this subject fairly we have a separate article all about the safety and handling of Lithium-ION batteries that you should read! Now this is a very important subject, we have all read the headlines about vaping explosions, and more often than not it is because of the battery that is being used. Your vaping gear will determine where you go on the sliding scale. Batteries are getting better though, and there are whispers that the inimitable Elon Musk is working on 18650 batteries that will soon blow our socks off!Īs a result of this see-saw relationship between capacity and discharge, batteries are grouped into three broad ranges: high capacity/low power, high power/low capacity, and several variants that fall somewhere in between. This ‘sliding scale’ is non-negotiable and unavoidable: The higher the density, the lower the discharge rate. ![]() Sadly, technology is not there yet, and the small size of these cells means there will always be a tradeoff between capacity and high current.Ĭhoosing a high power battery means accepting lower capacity, and vice versa. ![]() In the ideal world, we would choose the highest mAh and highest amperage battery possible. In practice, cells are not 100% efficient, but it is a good guideline, so it is clear that a 3000mAh will last longer than a 1500mAh battery. In theory, your 3000mAh battery should draw 3000 milliAmp for the period of one hour, or 1000 milliAmp for three hours. Discharge is measured in continuous Amps (A).
