Battery low, or not?

[aLyr]

I am using several mods, which give me a "low battery" warning, though I can take some more puffs after letting them rest for a while.

Sometimes, the first attempt of drawing after the "low battery" warning will not work.
But if I let it rest for a while, the mod will work well again.

This is what I saw with my mods of different makes.

Seems to me that the cells recover somehow after a while and then the mod allows some more puffs.

Did you ever see this behaviour with your equipment?

PS: I am mostly using mods and tanks of vaporesso, but not only.

I would say you're abusing your batteries.
Seriously, once you're mods battery protection says low it's low. It's true that given some time for the ions (or whatever) to settle you may get a few more puffs but why do it?
This is the same reason you don't take a battery straight from vaping and stick it in the charger or straight from the charger and start vaping on it. They need time to settle.

Foggy Road,

you did not understand anything, obviously.

Firstly, I have been writing about cells, not batteries!

Secondly, I do not abuse the Li-Ion cells in any of my mods!
All of those I have suit my way of vaping very well!

Also, I always give my cells time to rest after charging before using them in another mod.

And my style of charging Li-Ion cells is always to let them rest about 30 minutes before and after charging!

Understood?

Oh, ok. My bad

Li-Ion cell sag

 

[aLyr]

Well,

the sag of Li-Ion cells is another tale.
As to that, see the reports of Mooch.

What you are describing with your cells.... always happens. I don't have the scientific explanation for you, but as far as I know this happens with all types of batteries, rechargeable or not. Or cells...

 

[Beamslider]

Yes happens with most batteries and mods. Once they hit low protection, sitting for awhile will give a few more puffs normally. Not worth doing though just change for fresh charged batteries.

 

[Rangertrix]

Oh, ok. My bad

Could give the answer. Could even give an in-depth scientific one, but nah.
Not after that.

I'm out.
Vape on Foggy you're a better man than me. Cheers.

 

[aLyr]

Nice to know that you had the same experience which I had.

 

[uthinkofsomething]

I was told early on that if you drain batteries to 3.5 and change for fresh it stresses the battery less and will last longer. This works well with my usual wattage and amp usage, they start giving out around 3.4 on my mod, less oomph, so I change em.

 

[aLyr]

First, we are using Li-Ion cells, not batteries!

And when comes to mods depleting cells, I have shutdown voltages of everything between 2.8V and 3.3V, depending on the mod.

2.8 is too low, you should stop at 3.2.

People use the term "battery" when, technically, they are cells. It's a common practice. No need to be so argumentative.

 

[uthinkofsomething]

I call it a mod too, but it's not...
Not compared to how the term came to be lol.

 

[aLyr]

I appreciate your suggestion very much,
but my Aspire NX75 goes very low.

Anyway, I am about to sort this mod out soon.

People use the term battery correctly;
The difference between a cell and a battery is that a cell is a single unit that converts chemical energy into electrical energy, and a battery is a collection of cells

aLyr is just being contrary to provoke a response from everyone. Its his normal style. Take a few minutes to read his thread on Battery Marriage.

This battery behavior is not unique to eCigs, it can be seen in almost all battery powered devices. The important aspect here is when battery low warning is received its time to change out batteries rather than risk discharging below a safe state. Continued discharge below designed cut off is detrimental to battery life.

 

[aLyr]

Nice provocation.

But you never ever can deny the difference between a battery and a cell!

Some mods do cut off a bit early. To me it makes little difference when a mod cuts off, I listen to it and change... cells.
