I have bought 4 different types of batteries so far, all have seemed to give me issues from buttons sticking so they won't shut off to I charge them once and they don't work anymore. Can anyone tell me the battery they find to be the best????

...since there are only about eleventy zillion types of batts, the type of batt or type of PV it is being used in would be helpful to know.........
I killed an old KR808D-1 manual (the kind with the totally open hole in the threaded end) this weekend during the long hurricane power outage when my only lighting was a pocket LED flashlight held between my teeth. I either overfilled or did not properly clean up a cartomizer in the poor lighting and it seems I got liquid inside the battery which led to it having a closed connection bypassing the pushbutton - same effect as if a button was stuck on but the button was not stuck at all. If I put a carto on it it started sizzling juice constantly. The battery was about 7-8 months old and it was my fault.
With the SmokelessImage Volt style of KR808D-1 manuals, the end is totally sealed. The button is tiny and recessed but the end if totally sealed. The newer style of manufacturer plain KR808D-1 batteries (and new Vapor4Life batteries should be the same) have what appears to be something inside blocking the threaded end hole. I have had no problem with either.
Joye 510 manuals are totally sealed metal on the threaded end and my only problem with them is &%#*&#*!# vendors who sell something as a 510 charger cable but actually send an Ego charger cable with too many mA output for a slim batteries. That will slowly degrade the batteries and ruin their ability to hold charge. I found the culprit cable out of my 4 (and now use it labeled and used as a Riva 510/Ego cable) and I bought a new 510 cable and 2 new batteries to replace the 2 that got hurt. Then I noticed the 2 new ones losing their ability to hold charge and I rechecked my cables and one I did not ever suspect - the reseller branded cable that came WITH my original 510 kit (clone stupid stupid I never bought a clone after that one) - that cable was putting out 420mA instead of something around 200mA GRRRRRRRRR. BUT other than stupid idiot vendors sending inappropriate cables, I never had a problem with them. My 8 month old Joye mega xl manual battery which was always charged in a different room where the cable is correct, is still working like a champ.
My 3.7v mod box works fine.
My Riva 510's work fine (fat battery 510's)
