801 Batteries won't hold a charge

[agga40s]

I have 5 batteries for my DSE801. Two of them are practically new, the other three about a month old. For some reason, they won't hold a charge for more than an hour or so. So, I end up running out of charged batteries. Now, I'm beginning to have the same problem with the 901's I borrowed from my husband (I'm using his 901 while I wait for my batteries to charge).

I can't figure out why they won't hold a charge, and the fact that BOTH models are doing the same thing, I know I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Same problem with all batteries? Not impossible, but highly unlikely.
1. Are you charging them for the required amount of time?
2. Could it be a faulty charger?

No Your Not Doing Anything Wrong!! The E-Cig Batteries Are Frigin CRAP!

Where's The FDA, FTC or What Ever The Frig Agency That Helps Us Fix This Issue???

Build or Buy A Mod and Use Normal Batts!

Agga40s - If they are not holding a charge , when not being used, then they are not fit for purpose. send them back and expect a full refund / replacement.

As a supplier , I would expect them to be returned. (Dont return them to me though I dont stock 801s

However as sad as it sounds . If you havent followed the instructions regarding initial charge times etc . then sorry you are screwed.



Hope this helps ( though I seriously doubt it)

We're dealing with people from all walks of life. Some can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars a pop for parts & supplies when ever they feel like it. A lot of folks already have parts built up, and most don't have the electrical or mechanical knowledge to keep everything working properly. Not everyone has the knowledge to keep their cars running right, so they take them to a mechanic. I am yet to run across a corner e-cig repair shop. We're here to help each other.

It's unlikely that all those batteries went bad naturally. Like I said in my other post, charge times, or bad charger. Anyway, it's a start.

You are right Jim - Just thought Id help out on the refund policy.


Good luck Agga

I totally understand, but I'd hate to see some poor supplier receive a suitcase full of batteries for return.
Yer right - last resort, return them. (but it seems like a deeper problem here.)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread...it's been a busy day. I think it must be a defective charger. Today, the 801 batteries charged as they should, and all is well. But it's sort of a crap-shoot with the 801s...they've been giving me problems for several days, then boom! they work fine. I have a new charger on order, hope that'll fix that problem.

I had gotten so frustrated with the 801s that I didn't realize that all that was wrong with the 901 I borrowed from hubby is that he had already used it for a while. I thought it was a new fully charged one, but it wasn't, so the charge ran out quickly. Sometimes I don't think straight when I'm frustrated...sorry!

Thanks for your help...I'm trying to figure out which USB passthrough to get so I don't have to depend quite so much on the ones that have to be charged.

To agga40's,
Same problem with 801 battery, I've lost three all together dead, the three I'm using now blinking after and hour or so, am changing out all the time!

Yes, I do charge new ones 8 hours, three times, then go by the green light. But little by little they hold charges less and less.

I CANNOT WAIT for the Janty Stick to get here: All stocked up, extra batteries, chargers, wall USB plug, let's see, oh yes, about 13 extra atomizers when my order from bestecigs.com get here. THEN NO MORE BATTERIES!! Can't wait to see how THE STICK performs, hope no major problems, this is getting way outta hand expensive.

Not many choices on passthroughs. Most suppliers are out of stock. I just ordered 2 for my RN4081 and 2 for my M402 from
TRUEMAN ECIG USB Passthrough RN4081 M401 DSE084 DSE901 DSE801 DSE101 DSE103 DSE084 KR808 - Powered by ECShop
They have a good selection in stock

 

[agga40s]

Kate, I agree! I'm getting so sick of constantly thinking, "After I get this one more thing, everything should work fine." I love e-cigs but I've spent way more than I can afford already, and I'm still not there. I'm not familiar with the Janty Stick and can't afford to buy yet another kit right now. Good luck with it, and let us know if it meets your expectations.

Jim, thanks for the link. Those are some good prices!

I have 1-dse801 and 2- 801/4072. The 801/4072 is almost a month older than the 801. The 801 batteries have already crapped out. The 801/4072 batteries are 2 months old and still working fine.
One of the 801's died on Monday and the other died on tue. Man was I bummed. 51.00 and those only lasted 3 weeks. Those batteries started coming on by themselves and staying on till the atomizer got really really hot, It was in my back pocket! I quickly unscrewed it. The battery continued to turn on by it self. Now it is Friday and the darn things are still glowing!! Heck I thought they would be run down by now! Both of them did the same thing.
This is really a big draw back on the e-cigs. Atomizer not lasting very long and problems with batteries.

Jim...have you ordered from Trueman before? I've been looking at their website and really like the prices. Have thought about getting passthroughs from them, too.

My first order is on the way. I haven't heard any bad things about them, so I gave it a shot. Good prices, and communication so far.

Excellent...thanks! Think I'll give 'em a shot too.

As a supplier - I''ll admit I've had bad experiences with 801s both from my own manufacturer and from other suppliers.... the atomizer simply draw too much power for such small batteries. However, the life really does depend on if you continually charge them and if you overheat your atomizers!

 

[Darlene7]

I see different 801's talked about here, I have the DSE 801 Classic Penstyle and wonder if you know if their are other batteries that will work with this e-cig. Was trying to find a manual battery but can't find a regular manual battery that isn't a passthrough or usb type. Is the DSE 801 battery interchangeable with other batteries that are stronger?

Yah, the 801 batteries are crap. I've got multiple chargers, batteries crap out whichever charger I use.
