18490?

[zerominusone]

Got my Provari at the end of March. Only thing I use now and it's GREAT. I have a question about the batteries though. I got two 18490s when I ordered my Provari. One battery usually last a whole day and as soon as I see it blinking, I'll switch out the batteries. The question is, with this kind of use, when should I plan on getting more batts?

From what i can remember, about 500 charges per battery. I would place that any where from 6 to 12 months (daily charging). I could be way off here, someone else will chime in I'm sure. Oh and keep in mind, different personal habits and vaping styles.

Depends on the charger you are using as well. I had a cheap charger and only 2 batteries when I first got my Provari, and they died after about 3-4 months. Since then I went up to 7 batteries, one for each day of the week. That way each has plenty of time to charge and "rest".

I got a Trustfire TR-001. It came with my BADA$$ Provari. It takes 2 1/2 - 3 hours to charge a battery on that thing. I was reading somewhere on here about a battery charging in about 15 minutes; yeah, an 18490. Can you say ENVY.

generally speaking, the quicker you charge a battery, the more stress you are putting on it. im not sure if this applies to the 15 minute charge, but it sure sounds like it would. also, if you charge your batts when they reach 50% youll prolong the lifetime of the battery. i know its a PITA to do, but thats what "they" say. its not such a big deal when the batts are (relatively) cheap, but i do follow this rule as closely as possible with my laptop. that batt costs much more than an 18490
