Hi there, about 10 of my vtc5a's have drained to like 0.3 to 0.8 volts over the last few weeks, sitting inside my smok and sigelei mods.. I already knew about this in my yihis and leave those 2 empty now. Because of this, i checked everything else today, and they are all at the exact level i left them (dna's/joyetechs/others).
So obviously besides yihi, smok and sigelei drain the batteries and don't stop, even when mods are completely shut off).
The batteries have taken hours to charge but all revived in my xtar and opus chargers. The xtar confused a couple of them as ni-mh and stopped at like 1.6 volts, but removing them and putting them back in fixed this.
What i want to know is if batteries that have been drained so low and revived, are safe to use at their normal rated CDR. That's it, basically!
I am taking more care in the future and will be storing all batteries externally in cases at 3.8 volts except for say 4 mods i am using in rotation where i will keep them in, and so on.
I very much appreciate your help as always..
regards
V
