I stopped vaping around the 10th of may "looking at a message on here I sent to a member on that date saying I was going back to tobacco for a while", and I haven't touched any of my vape gear since, just found my Rose 3 so quite happy with that... got some N.E.T's and I'm ready to go, just thought I'd check to be on the safe side, they are sony vtc6's I believe... the mod I'll be using is a dicodes no.6, and I vape around 12 watts, cheers.
Are batterys still good to go after leaving them boxed up for a few months?

Forgot about voltage! Think i better start from the begginning can't see this ending well if i dont lol, cheers
throw them into the charger and see if they take a complete charge of 4.2V.. if they do then they are good to go... if they hang at less than 3.9V while charging, then they have gone "bad"... the chemistry inside has developed something called dendrites... "crystalized" formations that damage the internal structure of the batteries chemistry... basically it shorts the battery between the + and - "plates" and allows for a slow and continuous discharge... sometimes the "dendrites" can form enough volume between plates to kill the battery completely... and BTW it takes a couple of years of non usage ( on average) for the dendrites to develope....
Normally, it's recommended to store your lithium batteries at around 70% for long term storage.
If your battery was dead when you set it aside, as other have stated, just checking how dead it is will be your clue for damage.
But for just a couple of months, unless it was dead, I wouldn't worry about it as long as it's charging correctly. Worst scenario, it will simply have a softer lifespan.

, glad to be back
Recently took an 18650 out of a mod I hadn't used in 7 or 8 months, put it in my new Pico and it showed a little less than half charged on the bar.... I didn't need to check voltage lol

Just checked, also its the big ol Efests that I have for my Dicodes no.6, 3.48 V... I really can't wait to set my rose up
I would check and charge them fully before use because in my opinion the standing voltage could be good but you will know the actual condition of them when you start to discharge them.
