What batteries for k200

[Mudfoot]

Hi, just wondering what batteries I will need for kangertech k200. I know they are 18650, but what type would suit best, cheers in advance

I would recommend either samsung 25r or sony vt5a

One more question, the k200 says it has balanced charging, is it ok to charge via USB rather then an external charger?

You can charge via USB but I don't know how well 'balanced' it is. Take a look at puremist. You can get 2 Samsung 25r and a 2 bay nitecore charger for £25 with free delivery

Not had the k200 but I've owned a few kanger mods and found the usb charging to be slow.
I'd say it's best to have an external charger and that also allows you to have a spare set of batteries if you don't want to be without a charged set.

Thanks for your help everyone. I've gone for the Sony batteries and a Xtar cv2 charger
