The SONY US18650VTC6 high-current battery offers a typical capacity of 3120 mAh (min. 3000 mAh) and can deliver 30 A current continuously (replaces AW IMR 18650 3000 mAh). Its characteristics make these batteries suitable for devices with very high current draw, such as electronic cigarettes and vaporizers. The battery is in an industrial design, without protective electronics.
These are some of the best high-current Li-ion 18650 batteries on the market, they are characterized by very high capacity, low internal resistance, do not suffer from memory effect (can be recharged at any time) or self-discharge. Li-ion in the 18650 size are the best choice in terms of stored energy due to the size and weight of the battery. Please check first whether your appliance supports this cell.
