Orbtronic Battery ?

[VA Vince]

I have 2, 18650 button top Orbtronic batteries. Can these be used on say a Provari, VS rDNA, mech's?

It says "protected 18650 li-ion 3.7V rechargable battery" 2900mah

EDIT - where button tops will allow, more curious as to the "protected part"

Most regulated devices won't "play nice" with a protected battery.

While most protected batteries are icr chemistry, you have some protected imr/hybrid chemistry batteries there I belive. Still probably not the best choice for a regulated mod.

I do know that Protected (sometimes a P before the number) were not recommended for sub ohms nor recommended for low resistance 1 ohms to 1.9 ohms vaping.
I think they have a protective coating that helps with any battery ex- or imploding should that happen. BUT IMR or Hi drain types are recommended for sub or low ohms vaping because they put out sufficient power for such. They are know as "safe chemistry" so if anything goes south, it won't cause damage.

It sounds like you have an Orbtronic (Panasonic inside) NCR18650PD or NCR18650PF battery. They are available in both protected and unprotected form. These are IMR/hybrid batteries. Safe-chemistry and high-drain. 10 amp continuous discharge rating.

If they didn't have a protection circuit on board you could use them with any mod. However, as anumber1 stated, protected batteries often do not play well with the protection circuitry of regulated mods. You could use these in a mechanical mod as long as you don't surpass the battery's amp limit.
