Compatibility Notes:

• Always check that your device accepts flat pin 18650 batteries.
• For dual battery boxes, always use 2 VTC5s of the same batch and charge level
• Do not mix VTC5 with other models (VTC6, VTC5A, other brands)
• For power outputs above 80W with a single battery, consider the VTC6 or dual battery box

What is the difference between VTC5, VTC6 and VTC5A?
The VTC5 offers 2600mAh with 20A discharge, ideal for everyday use at medium power (40-60W). The VTC6 has 3000mAh with 30A for longer runtime, while the VTC5A has 2600mAh but with 35A discharge, perfect for high-power mechanical boxes.

How do I safely charge the Sony VTC5 battery?
Always use a dedicated external charger (do not charge via USB in the box). Set the charging current to 1.5-2A (standard) or a maximum of 4A. Never leave the battery unattended while charging. Charge in a safe place away from flammable materials.

How long does a Sony VTC5 battery last?
With normal use (40-60W), the VTC5 lasts approximately 300-500 charge cycles (1-2 years). Daily battery life depends on the wattage: at 40W about 6-7 hours, at 50W about 5-6 hours, at 60W about 4-5 hours.

Can I use the VTC5 on mechanical boxes?
Yes, but with limitations. The VTC5 supports up to 20A of continuous discharge. On a single mechanical box, you can safely go down to 0.30Ω. For lower resistances (under 0.25Ω), use the VTC5A (35A) or VTC6 (30A).

How do I recognize an authentic Sony VTC5 battery?
Authentic Sony VTC5 batteries have a bright green wrapper with a clear "VTC5" print, a flat pin, a readable QR code, a weight of approximately 44-46g, and a security hologram. Be wary of low prices or unauthorized sellers. Always buy from certified retailers like MoarSvapo.

How long does it take to charge the VTC5?
With a 1.5A charger (standard): approximately 1.5-2 hours. With a 2A charger: approximately 1-1.5 hours. With a 4A charger (fast charging): approximately 40-50 minutes. We recommend charging at 1.5-2A to preserve battery life over time.

Can I use the VTC5 in a dual battery box?
Yes, the VTC5 is perfect for dual-battery boxes up to 100W. Make sure you always use batteries of the same brand, model, and charge level. Don't mix old and new batteries. Always charge the batteries together in the same charger.
