Charging Issues

[TheLexicana]

I'm having some trouble with my batteries charging. So far, this issue is only with my V4L batteries, both original diamond series and titan, and occurs with both the original and slim V4L chargers and other brand 808 chargers, and began occurring with all of them at the same time, so I really have no clue what the problem is. Basically, I use the batteries until the vapor production drops off, put them on the charger, and within minutes, the chargers indicate that they're fully charged. Then, the batteries die within half an hour or less, and the vapor production never amounts to much. I've cleaned both the batteries and the chargers, so... what gives?

TheLexicana, how long ago did you get these batteries and what type of cartomizer are you using with them? You can email me at brandon@vapor4life.com with the order number and I can look into this for you.

I've had most of these batteries for quite some time. Several months, at least. I'm currently using a cart from Halo, but I can try a Cool Cart on them if you think that might have something to do with it.

I don't know the resistance from your Halo cartomizers. If it is lower than the resistance than a CoolCart, that will affect your battery life as well. How much longer does a CoolCart last?

Ms. TheLexicana don't think it's the cartos, think the batts have reached their end of life. If they charge and die quickly, sure sign the cell is dying.

Yeah, it seems to be occurring with both CoolCarts and Halo carts. They're simply not working when connected to any cart. They'll light up just fine when not attached to a cart, but as soon as I stick any cart on them, they'll either light up very dimly and put out next to no vapor, or, in the case of the original diamond batt, blink three times. I guess it's just bad timing.

What Morandir alluded to, I think your batteries may have seen the end of their life. We have a 90-day warranty on our batteries. If you ordered one in the last 3 months and this is happening I will send out a replacement.

 

[TheLexicana]

No, it was definitely more than 90 days ago. Four months at least for the newest, some as long as two years ago. Thank you for the help, though I guess it's time to stock up again.
