I bought a kit 3 months ago which came with two ego batteries. How long should a battery last?
900 mAh ego batteries

I can only say I've had a love/hate relationship with eGo batteries. I have a couple that are still going strong after six months and I've also had one or two that gave up the ghost after a month, maybe two.
Egos are rated for ~300 recharges. Charging them every other day, they should last well over a year. Providing nothing else goes wrong. I've had mine for 5 months. One is good, the other the switch went wonky and I ripped out the wires trying to fix it.
Supposed to last 250- 300 recharges but fully draining them will shorten their lifespan. I've go Kgo's that are still strong after 1+ yr. Realize nowadays the Kgo's are not my main vape.
I did not know that. I have been letting mine dwindle to almost nothing like I do my cell phone. Now I wonder if I am charging my phone wrong..... thanks and everyone have a great Memorial Day.
My cheap no-name ones are loosing capacity pretty quickly, no where near 300 recharge cycles. I usually try to top them up every evening without waiting for them to go dead. That's why I've switched to using replacable battery mods at home. Still using the egos when out.
My preference for eGo class/ style batts are:
SLB Kgo
SmokTech eGo
JoyTech eGo
Unless you're buying a Janty eGo all others are knockoffs.

Good to know that they are rated to last 250-300 recharges. One of the two batteries I received with the kit went bad after 2 months. It was scary, the battery would not shut off no matter what I did; the 5 clicks etc...
If it was left on the clearomizer the unit got very hot and I had to discard the battery.
It was a good one, it would not stop working, could not kill it!

Not sure if you know what the "mAh" rating of 900 means.
MAh stands for mili-amp hours. 100 mAh = 1 hour of battery use (average) between charges. Therefore, a 900 mAh battery can be expected to be used for 9 hours.
An easier way to understand the mAh rating is to just knock off the last two digits of the rating, and that will give you the hours you can expect from your battery.

I do the same thing. Drain completely(button blinks) then recharge. I thought that recharging the battery when only half drained would cause "memory" and shorten the amount of time you get from each charge. Same as cell phone batts.
I think my batteries are knock-offs. There's no logo on them at all even though they came in an eGo kit. So I'm half-expecting them to burn out sooner rather than later. I'm going to be sure and get a branded battery next time.
My batteries are 1100 mAh (at least that was the designation of the kit I purchased) but I don't get anywhere near 11 hours out of a charge. Closer to 4, maybe 5. As I stated in an earlier post, I'm pretty sure my batteries are knock-offs so that could explain the discrepancy. They charge in about 2 hours which seems like a short time to fully charge an 1100 mAh battery.
And I'm not a heavy vaper (at least I don't think so). Maybe go through 3 or 4 mls a day.
If you're using low resistance cartomizers/clearos that will greatly reduce the length of the charge. Some say by about half.
So 5 hours using LR is about right.
Also note, it's 1 hour per 100 mah of continous vaping on a new battery.

I mostly use an ego mini 450mah and it will last for 1.5ml @ 2.2Ohms. For me this exceeds my daily vaping needs and it get's plugged into a USB hub or my computer with my cell phone every night. I'm using a half dozen Vapeonly mini clearamizers and a dozen Vision Nano's for my tobacco and as disposables.
You should recharge a phone battery when convenient when it is between 20% and 80% and remove when it gets to 100%. Then once every month or six weeks let the battery drop to less than 5% and charge up to 100% in one go.
Good info, great post, thanks OP 
Now I know about my batteries...well, mostly lmao.
Now I know about my batteries...well, mostly lmao.It's a little more complicated than that. Baditude was giving a good rule of thumb but actual mileage will vary. Look on the Internet and you will see that a 900 mAh battery can supply 900 milli-amps of current continuously for an hour before being depleted. It's a measure of battery capacity. Actual time between recharge is a function of battery capacity, current across the coil and how much time you spend with the battery on per hour.
Personally, I chain vape and like to vape at between 7 to 8.5 watts so my 650 mAh VV kGos drain pretty quickly. Have noticed they drain faster recently and they are only 4 months old. This is why I invested in a Vamo. On the the other hand, my Inferno is still going strong after 9 months. So go figure.

I'm using 2.4-2.6 ohm CE3 clearos. Are those considered LR? I haven't really dug too deep into the whole ohms/volts issue.
No, I would consider those to be standard resistance. Anything 2.0 ohm or less is considered low resistance.
