Battery Life

[SallyMaria]

What is the average batty life for a Kgo battery? It can last almost two days of steady vaping, and it has been seven months since I"ve been using them, but don't know how long before they wear out.

It really depends on usage. I've heard of batteries lasting for two years or more by people who take good care of them.

But on average, I'd say getting a year of use out of a battery is pretty good.

I'd expect comparable to most EGO batteries, that can be recharged typically more than 200 times.
And from what I understand, charging from "halfway used up" twice counts as one recharge - in other words, it's NOT harmful to recharge it every day, even if it doesn't need it...

Do not run the battery until its dead. Recharge them more often will extend the life of the battery. But have more battery then you need is a good idea. One charging and one being used.

I go thru 2 Egos a day. But, I'm a chain vapor. They last me about a year with dropping them on concrete floors at work.

As mentioned by Train2, battery life is not measured by time, but by the number of charge/discharge cycles. The standard is about 300 charge cycles for most inexpensive, Ego type systems. At about ~250-275 charges or so, you should notice a decrease in the battery's ability to hold a charge. This is the point where you dispose of it properly and replace it.

Batteries should be considered a consumable item. At some point, they will need to be replaced.

It's always a good idea to have a backup, and a backup for your backup.
