battery stock rotation

[bearscreek]

I know this subject gets touched on here and there from various angles, but I'm trying to decide what's the best way to rotate batteries when I'm stocking quite a few extras. This especially pertains to those of you who are REALLY stockpiling. For instance, I have about a dozen batteries for a certain model, and I was trying to rotate them and keep them with some amount of charge, but I've noticed that they lose charge fairly quickly while just sitting, especially since I use a passthrough most of the time and it takes me a while to get to them. What I'm getting at is what's the most efficient way to make sure that batteries bought today will still work a year from now? I can't imagine never using them and getting good service quite a while from now. Am I simply having NiCd flashbacks? TIA

My wife and I use 3 batteries each. We have another 12 in stock. We've been using our 3 for about 2 months with no problems. I'm wondering if we should charge the others once in a while, or is it OK to let them sit
the way they came from the seller. Any opinions? I'd be ...... if they went bad by not charging.

This is something I've wondered about, too, bearscreek. I sure hope someone who's been vaping a while can share their wisdom!

Yeah, considering that I have tons of 4081 batteries but now recently got a 510 and fell in love, I'm just trying to decide if it makes much sense to stock up so much, given the way things are so up in the air about supplies lately.

Bearscreek, I think we are all concerned about buying extra supplies (to include e-liquid)!!!

Of course, dead extra batteries won't do us any good.
