A BATTERY MOOCH POST: Do not use the Samsung 26F (ICR18650-26F) battery above 5A or 20W!

I’m getting more and more reports of the Samsung ICR18650-26F being sold with high power mods like the Smok H-Priv 220W.

This is ridiculous.

That is a 5.2A-rated battery and it will perform very badly above about 5A/15W. If used in a high power device it could heat the batteries up enough to damage them or even cause them to vent (not thermal runaway though).

Do not use the Samsung 26F at above 5A or 15W per battery.
