510 batteries

[suddenly]

My 510 batteries are only lasting me about 15 minutes. Using 2 new ones, and 2 older ones.
Shouldn't they last longer than this?

Have you tried a different charger? Maybe you need a new one.

If All your batteries are doing the same thing then it sounds like a charger issue.

Clean the batteries with a Q-Tip and try a different charger. Or try the chrarging them from the USB only instead of the wall charger.

I don't think so. I also have like 6 chargers.

Are you using the batts with an older Atty? If so, the atty might have developed a higher resistance which requires a higher draw on the batts. Try checking the atty with an Ohm meter to see what it reads. 2 to 3 ohms is the average norm for a regular style atty.

Not intending to contradict, but it's unavoidable... Higher resistance would make the battery last LONGER, but give a poorer hit. Are you using LR atties? That could explain it. Also, batteries get old and don't hold a charge as well. How old are the batts?

FYI - I use a mod...and an LR atty. Gave up on the standard cig-size 510's after my initial few weeks. A DIY box mod with a 14500 battery (900 mah) is inexpensive (under $10.00 DIY, under $30.00 purchased assembled). A DIY MadVapes tube is what I'm using now. The batteries are < $5.00 each. I think the charger was about $10.00. I have 4 batts. They last me 1/2 - 3/4 of a day per charge... each. It's like a mega ego in capacity at $5.00 per battery.

If you have tried different chargers than I don't know what to tell you.

Except that the chances of 2 new batteries and 2 old batteries kacking out in the exact same way at the exact same time seems very remote.

All your batteries only work 15 minutes with any atty or carto?

Could one of your atty's have shorted out and caused damage to all your batteries?
