Battery lifetime

[MrSmokinToad]

Does anyone know about how long a V4L battery lives.... is it months ? years ? a certain number of charge / discharge cycles?

A disadvantage of lithium-ion cells lies in their poor cycle life: upon every charge or recharge, deposits form inside the electrolyte that inhibit lithium ion transport, resulting in the capacity of the cell to diminish. The increase in internal resistance affects the cell's ability to deliver current, thus the problem is more pronounced in high-current than low-current applications.

The increasing capacity hit means that a full charge in an older battery will not last as long as one in a new battery (although the charging time required decreases proportionally, as well).

Probably give them a year or so before the charge is significantly diminished or the button just flat out breaks down.

I think someone said 300 charges or more or about 6months, I could be wrong

All depends on if your rotating your batteries, cleaning them, not dropping them, etc .

Yup, vapor4life.com states about 300

Thanks, so I would guess I would discount the shelf time based on the manufacture date stamp and just expect to get a charge per day from time of receipt and use. Probably plan to order new ones around 9 months or so.

That would be wonderful,wouldnt it?Its a shame that juice gets inside them and we drop them and we drain them too much sometimes.Im very happy if I get 3 months out of a battery that costs less than 20 bucks.Thats less than 4 packs of smokes,Id smoke them in 2 or 3 days.Its alot cheaper and healthier.LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Yeah, I kind of look at it in a similar fashion: one V4L battery costs me LESS than 2 packs of smokes and that's almost what I was smoking PER DAY.
