Pairing batteries?

[Faceteeth]

Hi all,

Just a quick one.

I know it's common practice to always use batteries in pairs I.e. don't mix your batteries but I've just bought a triple battery mod and I've not got a "set" of 3 batteries if you get what I mean.

Is it worth buying 3 new batteries or can I use a pair that I've always used together and chuck in any other 3rd battery?

I said battery a lot and it made my brain hurt.

Anyway, thanks guys!

Buy 3 new battery's and keep them married to each other marked and used in the same mod together and charged together don't use 2 married battery's with a random extra as the random one could drain faster or slower than your married 2 can cause you problems [emoji4]

if you're using a mod that uses the batteries in parallel then yes they should be paired this is generally done on unregulated mods as both batteries are wired together so the voltage is multiplied.

Yeah, best buying er ... 3 or 6 new batteries

I've got like 4 sets of 2 already, maybe I'll just buy a set of 3 for it as when they die, I'll just jump onto a different mod.

I didn't say battery again! Get in!

with dna mods you can use the software so that your mod recognises the batteries and using them accordingly like on my dna 250c I use 3 samsung 30Qs but on my dna 250 I use 3 sony VCT5As I have them set to know those batteries and have the MAh and watt hours all set right so I basically know I can get around most of the day out of each mod without having to swap over half way through the day.

ps I have three sets of all my batteries except my new p26As so thats 8 30Qs and 8 VCT5As.

And don't forget to mark your batteries so you don't mix up your batteries. Last thing you want is a battery confusion.
@Miss Pepper has a wonderfully sophisticated method.
