Batteries!!!

Okay here is a question....for the DSE901 they say to charge the original batteries 8-12 hours. My question is this. I will be using the passthrough while at home for the most part. If I have batteries fully charged, how long do they stay like that? If they are fully charged and I don't use them that day and just have them sitting around and use them the next day when I go out, will that be okay? What about when they say they last 4 hours does that mean 4 hours of vaping or withing 4 hours they are dead no matter what you do?

I am sure the shelflife of the charge is not forever... but I have had soem charged for a day and they still work for quite some time.. I have not noticed if it was less time than usual... will try to notice next time.

check out this site:

Charging lithium-ion batteries

you should be able to top off your batts if you want them fully charged. it's 4 hours of vaping/usage.

On my 901 I was getting maybe 3 hours vaping tops, but I use it a lot. The USB pass-through is a godsend if you spend many hours near a source... and those portable usb power supplies are nice too. I have one that I used to use on my Asus EEE PC when traveling. It's got a new good use now

I got the pass through ordered today so I'm hoping it makes it here when my 901 does so that I can start right away while my batteries are charging. Otherwise I'll have to wait 12 hours.

I'm so serious about getting off the regular ciggys I even ordered some fruit chill nic gum to have on me in case I'm out and about and batteries are dead or something. So that way I have no excuse to go for a regular ciggy.

You don't really have to wait 12 hours. When you get it put a battery on the charger and one on the atomizer and start using it. There will most likely be enough charge so you can at least try it. I've never got a new battery that was completely discharged when I got it. It's not going to hurt anything using a partially charged battery. You may not get the normal amount of vapor but you can at least try it.

Ok cool, thanks for the tip, so that won't hurt the life time charge of that battery then right?

 

[Houdini]

It won't hurt it. Just put it on charge when the tip starts flashing and it'll be fine.

Some suppliers (VaporNine, in my case) send the batteries out fully charged. That's customer service!
