Wattage of a mech mod

[Mr Ripple]

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.

^^^^ And my reply is why I don't use em.
Mistakes are simple and all too easy to make.

Some folks get a bit sensitive to stuff written on the internet, unless you're sitting next to me with a ridiculously low build, I'm not fussed. btw 3.7v is nominal voltage, not to be trusted in calcs.

Mostly ignore the top numbers, but the graph gives an indication...

You can see it starts at around 4.2, spends most of it's life at 3.7, then tails off as it depletes, higher DCIR means it spends longer at 3.7 before dropping off. Sanyo 2070B's use to be a favourite for this. Molicels used to start off well but drop off quicker. Using mechs I could feel the cell dropping down from 3.7v and would swap them then.

I quite like the vapecells I use I have 2 21700 and a handful of 18650 and they always seem to hold up well. The rest of my batteries are molicels

 

[John R]

Yeah, but vapcells are rewraps with mostly bogus CDR's on them.

I use 3.7v for my calculations, you never get 4.2v under load even with a freshly charged battery. That said even if you used 4.2v for your coils and it being parallel cell, your well under the CDR.

Well I didn't know that. I do get them from reputable dealers.

 

[John R]

Yet you still get people arguing the toss who don't know the difference between nominal and maximum...

Everyone to themselves, we all have different information and different ideas. If we didn't the world would be a boring place.
