I got that info from a website called something like the battery encyclopedia or something like that & it was under the Li-Ion type whereby fully depleting them caused a significant decrease in their overall longevity, however, with teh auto-cut off factor I imagine such concerns are nullified. Thank you for that, a2d.

I don't agree. Charging them to less than the max voltage will also help and recharging before the minimum cut-off will extend the life of Li-ons.

Look at the dramatic difference in charge cycles at 4.2V vs 4.3V.


The chintzy 10¢ chargers we mostly use could easily be overcharging to 4.3V. This might help explain the wildly varying results folks post with the same make of batteries.

How to prolong lithium-based batteries

The article also explains how a casual puffer who drains the battery slowly over the course of many hours might get more longevity than the chain vaper.
