batteries not holding their charge as long as they used to

[crashhat69]

my 2 kgo batteries don't seem to hold their charge as long as they used to any idea why?

Age of batteries? Do you discharge until they don't work anymore? Charging materials and practices? Are you sure you aren't vaping more than you used to? Any other information that might be relevant?

they are not immortal-get new ones. or better yet, get a mod with replaceable batteries. when they die you still have the mod.

Because they are not as New as they use to be.

Batteries, regardless of the type, will get to a point that they are not as efficient as they were when new. Chemicals used to make the battery are used up.

Batteries are Consumables, meant to be used up and replaced.

it's only been 7 months how long do they usually last?

depends on how many times you have used them.
They are normally rated on number of charge/discharge cycles.

If they are being used and charged daily, then they are approaching the end of their useful life.

7 mos x 30 days/charges = 210

A rule of thumb is that e-cig batteries are good for about 300 charges. You're more than 2/3 of the way there and not all batteries are created equal.

7 months is pretty good actually.

Pick up a new battery and keep your eye on these batteries.

Moving to ego discussion so you won't have to hear the random 'buy an xyz' instead.

They may be taking longer to charge. My Twists are 8 months old, showing signs of shorter life and longer charging times. I am starting to get replacements; another Twist and second iTaste v3.

How Old are they?

And about How Many Times do you think they have been Charger?

Do you Have a DMM?

Ego batteries will not hold as good of a charge after time

this is off topic but i was on my last vivi nova replacement head and it just randomly quit working. do they do that sometimes? or is it the tank itself that died?
