Batteries

[Mabbo]

Ok, silly question

How do you know when a battery is starting to go bad.

I have a battery that does not seem to last as long as my others, seems like it gets less and less.

Is the battery going bad? or is there a way to maybe recondition the battery like other rechagables?

Thanks

Have you tried cleaning the battery? Often, a decrease in performance (including ability to charge and function properly) is a sign that the battery connection point is blocked. First, take a pin and clean any debris out of the holes in the battery. Then, dip a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and swab the  connection point. It’s best to do this weekly for all batteries. Let me know if this helps. About 80% of the time, this is the issue.

I've got a 7 month old battery that's about on it's last legs. My favorite platinum regular auto too. As far as I'm aware, there's no "reconditioning" you can do to these.

batteries, at the best of times, can last 300 charges.

However, given external factors, it is all up to chance a lot of times. Dirt, weather, getting juice inside the battery, etc etc.

The batteries were designed to be used with DISPOSABLE CARTOMIZERS. Therefore, all bets are off.

Ok, ya my batteries are only a month old. I will try the cleaning method and see what happens.

Thanks everyone.

My battery won't charge after only 25 to 30 charges. It's out of the 45 day waranty by 10 days or so - I'm stuck with it. I pray this isn't common or I'm going to have to rethink this whole thing.

Well, like i said, there are a lot of factors that can contribute to short battery life. Some we just have no control over, some we can fix. We address each battery issue individually, so if theres an issue that we can fix, we surely will.

Hope that one battery issue isn't something that will make you "rethink this whole thing", whatever thing that is. Each cigarette you avoided needs to be considered.

We'll gladly help if we can.

Naw, It won't stop me from vaping - I'll just have to rethink my budget to accomodate battery replacement to 2 a month or so. Guess I should have been more specific. LOL

Ardent, I have learned that if you talk to Born, Mark, Steve, or Val even if it is out of the 45 day mark they will bend over backwards for you and everyone here.

Shoot mark a pm or someone here and see if they can help you. I'm sure if you send the old one back they will be more then happy to help you. I am planing on doing that with a battery I just ordered. It is my favorite one tho. Black with a blue led, and it's the new XL style!
