Box mods with charging ports

[ryback81]

I just got my Vapor Flask and I'm wondering if charging the batteries through the charging port before they are fully drained is bad on the batteries? Let's say if my batteries are at 50% charge and I charge them to full. Is that going to drastically reduce their life or damage them? I'm using VTC4's.

All I can say is I've read here that these batteries don't have a "memory" like a NiCad battery, so it doesn't hurt them. I pretty much charge mine up when I feel like it, and they seem to be doing fine.

Actually it's probably better, charging before they drop below 3.8V adds quite a few cycles over the lifetime of the battery. I don't stick to this, just sayin. I charge 'em when I charge 'em.

Supposedly IMRs have little to no memory effect.

With cells being cheap though I don't really worry about it
