I think Iāve almost got it figured out, you need to look at the continuous (not maximum) discharge rating. It should be 30A or higher. Is that right? So my purple EFest 20A/35A 2500mAh batteries probably shouldnāt be run over 60 watts either. Iāve been looking thru http://www.steam-engine.org/batt.asp at the different battery presets, and all the 20A batteries are OK at 50W, but it takes a 30A or higher battery to have a decent amount of headroom at 75W. The Sony VTC5 battery looks really good for pushing the single 18650 Wattage ceiling if you can find a real one.
Thereās also something about C rating which may have something to do with the continuous discharge rating, but I havenāt got that figured out at all. 
This one baffles me as well. Especially since many of the batteries out there donāt publish it. Looks important, sounds important.

Better Off Dead is the best bad movie from the 80s. After a screening John Cusack reportedly told the director it āwas the worst thing I have ever seen. I will never trust you as a director ever again, so donāt speak to me.ā

Doesnāt the danger really come from mech or unregulated mods? Iāve always believed with regulated mods itās not much a concern.
Iād like a definitive answer to that too. Been reading and reading the last 2 hours and Iām leaning toward ānoā. I think you can still do some damage trying to draw too much from a low discharge battery. From what Iāve read you can damage your battery and wear it out prematurely. I donāt know whether that means it just wonāt hold a charge or it means something much more severe.
Iām putting out some feelers, but if anyone here knows, please share!
The dangers are reduced in a regulated mod, but absolutely they still need to be used sensibly. Iāll leave the technical details to those more qualified, but I see the real world experiences everyday. I work for a company that distributes devices that include batteries with similar chemistry to the batteries we vape on. Every few days we get a user in that has a battery that has overheated and vented from what might otherwise be considered normal usage. Now they may not catch fire and explode like some of the stories you hear about with mech mods. They definitely can inflate and leak and release toxic fumes that you really donāt want to be near when it happens. And fire is a risk even in regulated mods if you are driving the batteries too hard.
