Wattage of a mech mod

[Moses]

I'm currently using a overkill dual 21700 parallel mech mod. I've done some calculations to what the wattage it is pushing out. But the figures I get seems way to high. I'm using vapecells 4200mah 3.7v 30a continuous output. I've done a calculation and it comes out as 490ish watts. Surely that can't be right?

The voltage will not be doubled.
It will still be 3.7v

It will still be 3.7v

Thats where I went wrong

Thank you, I've just recalculated as well.

Parallel the voltage isnt doubled. You do roughly half the current load if using two batteries.

Unless your charger tops out at 3.7v, for the rest of us it's 4.2v.... taking into account voltage drop it'll be slightly less. If you need to ask this stuff put away the mechs.

Thank you for your concern, I've been using mechs for quite some years and I've been safe, I never build to low. But thank you.

It's your face and fingers, plenty info in the relevant section. https://forum.planetofthevapes.co.uk/threads/battery-safety-chart.148781/

Cheers bud, I didn't mean anything funny by my last reply. I just had a blonde moment. 3 kids running around and screaming for just over a week now so my brains a little frazzled.
