Battery life will depend on how often you use it and how high you turn up the wattage. I find my Istick lasts a full day + a bit, but then I usually vape at the lowest settings - 6-8 watts and around 2.5 mls of juice a day . It's all relative
Battery life is completely user dependent, what may last hours for one may last days for another! As for juice, dunno, that is a trial and error process, try Vape Wild's sampler offer!
Yup, hard to gauge without knowing how much you vape and at what power. How old is it, is another question. "Unable to hold a charge" is how LiPo batteries make their exit, with thankfully few exceptions; it could have reached the end of its useful life. Half a day does seem a bit short for an iStick 20.
At 10.5 w, if you are chain-vaping and taking long draws, your mileage sounds about right.
Find out from Eleaf what exactly it does to show a full charge. Full battery showing on the meter, or light goes out?
It's fully charged when the progress bar goes out (when in switched off mode but charging), not when the progress bar shows all bars.
My iStick 20W goes about 8, maybe 10 hours of vaping at 1.8 ohms, 3.7v to 4v. That's about 8 watts, give or take. It's a 2200mah battery. Vaping frequency and load will determine battery life.
I'd recommend the iStick 50W, but experience with two of them resulted in the OLED screen going dark inside the warranty period. Maybe my vendor bought early on and their entire stock was cursed with the same build lot.
They replaced both and then let me choose another after the 2nd failure. I chose the Innokin Cool Fire 4. It's been rock solid so far and gives me vaping time from about 7 in the morning until about 8 or 9 at night on a charge at 8 or 10 watts.

I have had my istick 20 for about 8 months. The only issue I found was the threads are starting to go bad and only certain devices will connect.
The threads on mine stripped at the weekend - I've currently got a thin sliver of cardboard between the threads holding the atomiser on. It's worked so far touch wood. Just ordered a 40W TC one today - just hope the cardboard fix lasts till my new one arrives.
At ten.5 watts, if you're a heavy vaper, half a day doesn't seem too short. Maybe you need a bigger battery machine, like the iStick 30.
Actually the 30W has the same 2200 mah as the 20W but the 40W has 2600.
