blueridgedog Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I think you have to commit to a lipo size based on your vaping style. I get buy on a 1,000mAh pack. If you think you can do the same, then look at the hammond build in the thread on this forum about builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalemandrew Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 What c do I need 30c or 50c and what does this matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgedog Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 The chip requires a maximum input of 23amps. A 1000 mAh or 1Ah pack would then need to be rated at 23c to achieve this, but have no margin of error. C is for capacity and the rating is the multiple of the the capacity that it can be discharged at. So a 1000mAh pack rated at 10c would be able to sustain 10 amps (1000mAh = 1Ah, 1Ah * 10 = 10Amps).So, as the capacity of your pack goes down, you will need a higher C rating to cross the 23amp minimum. A 2000mAh pack can be solved with 2Ah * X = 23A or 11.5 C. For a smaller pack, say 850mAh the math is .85Ah * X = 23A or .85 * X = 23 so X=27.06. In each case I would go for a 20% margin of error (increase in C rating of the pack).A fast way to do this is to simply know that your pack in Ah ratings (1000mAh is 1Ah) should be greater than 28 (23 plus a 20% margin) when multiplied by its C rating. So a 1300mAh pack with a 20 C rating gives you 1.3 * 20 = 26 sustained amps and would be rejected (below the margin), but a 40 C pack of the same capacity would give you plenty of amps.If you post the mAh rating you are considering, a minimum C rating for that pack can be suggested.

lalemandrew Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 2200 or a 5000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgedog Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Any C rating over 20 for a 2200 pack would be fine. A 10 C rating on a 5000 pack would give you 50 amps, so more than enough. Most packs you find in the upper mAh ratings will be well outside of the rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
