assuming you are talking about lithium ion batteries ... short answer, NO.

good night, and good luck

I have a question about batteries. Are they losing charge when screwed to the atomiser. They are supposed to be in standby, does that mean they are discharging if the ecig is left assembled overnight?

good question kate. Think about a computer/laptop/cell phone, etc... When they are in standby mode, they are still on and using energy. the difference is, they are using about 1/100th of what would be needed to fully power the equipment. That is why you have 6 hour talk time cell phone batteries and 300 hours of standby time.

If I had to guess, I would say the battery is still discharging while not being used because something must power the sensor to know when to turn on and off. This doesn't mean its discharging by leaps and bounds, just a little.

I have noticed that if you unplug the charger, if you leave battery in, it will indeed drain it- left mine in an unplugged charger for a few days by mistake, and went ot retrieve it and it was drained and hte led was blinking while it was i nthe unplugged charger.

LOL...

Yesterday, the wifey washed my shorts and I had an extra penstyle battery still in one of the cargo pockets (she forgot to check)

it was a fully charged battery, went through the entire wash and drying cycle and was completely drained afterwards. would just blink when I tried to use it. Thought it may have been destroyed, however, stuck it on the charger, and this morning, worked like a charm! LOL ...

Have your batteries go through a laundry cycle for an extra uumph ...

Thanks Cashmere and Naz, very interesting. I don't like leaving my ecig assembled overnight or batteries in the charger when it's switched off. I think I'll stick to my habit of unplugging everything last thing at night.

just to boringly say why the stand by phone time is much longer than the talk time..

its a receiver in one mode a transmitter in the other.. to transmit radio waves takes hundreds of times the power than to receive them does.. nothing complicated

the e device device is activated by a simple mechanical suck switch .. the batteries might run down very very slowly but not my much.. think how long a little watch battery can power a watch..

for a women cash u are doing brilliantly.. he he he he

interesting ... I meant standby mode for the cell phone like that of a laptop. Didn't know the electrical equipment behind a cell phone and transmitter radio waves. i learn something new everyday! thanks trog

haha, its not my wifey's fault. i NEVER keep anything in my cargo short pockets. that was the first and last time ...

My phone seems to spend most of its time looking at the watchdog timer and then rebooting when it does too much at once! ....... thing!
