I'd suggest using only the charging cord supplied with the MVP. I've read of owners using other cords to charge their MVP, but to be safe I would only use the one supplied in your kit.
When vaping with your MVP, the firing button will display either green (full charge), yellow (think about recharging soon), or red (battery is low, charge before using again).
No one knows how long the life expectancy will be for the MVPs battery. They haven't been on the market long enough to know. Try to not run the battery down into the red indicator, but charge as soon as the yellow indicator displays. Frequently running a battery down to its lowest operable use will shorten its overall life expectancy.
These MVPs are a great PV and I suggest them to novices and more experienced vapors alike. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

Dun know abt battery care, I just charge whenever I like or left it charge overnight.
My itaste MVP v1 still going strong after 7 months but my button fell off, just use a scotch tape and everything back to normal
It's good price so I dun mind torturing it.
Drop it abt 50+ times with lots of scratches.
It's really a gd quality device except the button came off haha
vape on

I believe bringing them back to "full" power is very proper..
and yes you should store them probably around 3.6 or .7 volts for the long term layoff.

I've never heard you shouldn't do a total recharge every time. Supply me with a link and I'll investigate it for accuracy.
With replaceable rechargeable batteries that won't be used for a few month or longer, yeah they should not be kept at full charge. I use all of my batteries of this type in a rotation so they are always in use.
In addition, it should be common sense, but never leave any battery exposed to excessive heat. This would include leaving them in a car during the summer where the temperature can become excessively high.
Your batteries will last longer if not charged all the way to 4.2 V every time. See table #4 here. It is tricky judging when to take them off and check them, so IMO it's all about if it's worth it for you. There is no safety concern with charging all the way to 4.2 V.
Ideas on proper care for a lithium based battery changes over the years and is subject to change. From my research of current consensus and from what I have found with cellphones, laptops and iPods (not that I'm an expert, but I've gone through quite a bit) is that keeping it topped off is better than letting it go through a full cycle of fully charged to less than 20% all the time. However, most experts seem to agree that they should be stored at ~75% if you aren't going to use them for a while. And apparently, you should let it get below 20% every month to every week or so.
Notice all the indefinite language I just used? That represents our knowledge of lithium battery care pretty well.

The science behind lithium ion batteries is well known and not changing. There is a great site here which I've seen referenced all over the net and I've not found anything incorrect on it either. Now, there is a lot of miss-information floating around out there, but that doesn't mean anything is changing or we don't know the proper way of taking care of them.
Regarding individual cells there is no advantage to letting their charge drop below any threshold at any time. I believe that may be true for battery packs that report charge remaining and is to calibrate the system, but I am not up on those systems so don't quote me on this

Totally agree with both of your posts. I, too, rely heavily on Battery University, and also find a lot of bunk floating around here and elsewhere. Great post, great links, very helpful and informative information. Thanks Ryedan!
