Can someone put my mind at rest pls!!!

Been looking into having a go at my first RBA so have been reading about ohms laws which lead into battery safety and series and parallel mods.

Im currently using a cleito 120 with a aspire archon powered by 2 x XXX 3000mah batteries 3.7V 40A 20A Continuous ( yea I've never heard of the brand either). I've never really questioned my set up until I started reading about the above and its got me worried now.

Im assuming the Archon is a series mod as the + contacts are positioned opposites ends to each other which if my calculations a Current of 46.25amps. (7.4V / 0.16). As my batteries are only rated to 20A continuous I'm worried I could be heading for trouble here.

So can someone please tell me I'm an idiot and completely misunderstood what I've been reading and miscalculated or am I lucky that I havent blown something up.

Others with more knowledge can furnish you with more detail, but you don't need to worry with a regulated device.

The device controls the voltage and has safety features to prevent over discharging.

As mentioned, you're pretty safe with a regulated device as it has all the protections built in.
I think this is your battery which mooch has tested here

You're not an idiot and you've learnt something, however most of what you've worked out relates more to use in a mech. Nothing wrong with being a little paranoid and credit for asking.

OK _ You're an Idiot, You've completely misunderstood everything you've read...

Actually this is a common mistake - You've looked at the maximum battery voltage - not the voltage that the mod actually applies to the atty. - according to your calculation the mod would be firing at 342.25w - which is definetely wrong.
You'' find the mod works by applying a reduced voltage to the atty - that voltage depends on the resistance of the coil and the wattage requested - however a simple ohms law calculator is not enough to tell you how much current the mod is drawing from the batteries - If you need to know that then use the "Steam Engine" battery drain calculator - or just trust to the fact that the people who designed it took into account current draw and all the other stuff and built in safeguards to protect you. As long as you use good quality high drain (20 amp plus) cells you'll be fine....

Cheers @Jugg1es knew I'd seen them somewhere - as per Mooch, 20A safe CDR so OP you'll be ok with a pair of those up to 120W if you need to go there (I find sweet spot for Cleito 120 is 80W with 90W preheat).

Thanks for the info guys and thanks for putting my mind at rest. I kinda expected I was be Paranoid but just wanted it confirmed.

If it's a regulated device you'll be fine as they have protection. In a mechanical mod you can get issues.

I've been using a mech mod for over 2 years running builds as low as .07 and have never had any battery problems
