all my batteries seem to be wonky at once. I have 3-4 ongoing mods I use. Each one has its own set of batteries. They range from LG to Samsung. The ones I use for my Hex-Ohm are the oldest but even those are less than a year old. My most recent are Panasonics for my Wismec 2/3.
The battery charger will say they are charged, I remove them and let them sit until I need to replace. Comes time to replace (within 4-5 hours) and they register dead.
I am having this problem with all batteries and I use a Wismec, a Hexohm and a Vaporflask. All of these mods have their own sets, all married.
Thhis all happened upon moving to California. The only difference is where they sit until needed is next to a brass lamp. Could these have anything to do with it? Sounds silly I know but I cannot figure this out.
I have had batteries last me a good two years before. These are all less than a year, some only 4 months.
How could they all have this problem at once.

No the lamp has nothing to do with it. Maybe you got counterfeit cells, did you buy them from a reputable vendor? That's all I can figure, the hohmtech hohmbase charger has a feature called battery doctor on it and I've heard people say it brings older cells back up to new performance so maybe you should get one and try it. Does your current charger have a feature that tells you capacity? It drains the cell and then charges it back up to give you the mah rating. My $25 charger has that feature, it's liitokala lii-500, opus has a charger with this same feature as well as the hohmbase which includes the battery doctor. Good luck and be careful if your cells can't handle the drain they can vent.
