Even though it has nothing to do with the OP’s questions;
The basic dripbox has a maximum output of 3.6ish ~ 3.7v, so the maximum it can draw from the battery is 3.7v / .2Ω = 18.5a.
A known quality 20a CDR cell will work fine.
It isn't a regulated APV nor is it a mechanical, it uses a crude buck circuit to limit output. As battery voltage decreases so does output which lessens battery amp demand.
It has low battery, reverse polarity, low resistance, short circuit protection.
That is if you have an authentic, who knows what protections are in clone/knockoffs.

Sure is a lot safer & easier to use a decent quality regulated power device.

lmao it was an example... you can buy a device and they will sell you whatever battery they have on hand or not even ask what you have... no, ours are not clones, but I do build them as .3 because I'm a firm believer in buffering and it saves me the headache figuring out the limits and I was going by the 4.2. there should be testing for mechs and battery knowledge, how many find a place like this willing to educate? even this thread is somewhat confusing.

oh and where are those limits you mentioned? I've not found those specs or exactly with the protections they mentioned are, I'm curious now.
