I have a eGo Twist and i was wondering--Is it bad for the battery to be charged even though its not dead yet? cuz i wanna bring it with me to school (college freshman) and i dont want to hit it like 10 times and have it die on me and just have it in my pocket for the whole day.

Hi, I have several of these and I normally run them until they indicate they need a charge, however I have topped them up in the past with out any ill effect, however there are different opinions about letting them run down and not letting them run down.
I dont know if ego's have battery memory or not. I charge my ego's every night whether they need it or not.
have u noticed any side effects like the battery not lasting as long?
I have an ego c upgrade, and two twist batteries. I keep them charged for the most part whether they are completely dead or not, I have been doing this for over a year now and they hold their charge just fine. Plug that sucker up and vape on my friend. College can be stressful you're gonna need it eventually. Lol
thx man
I bought my first ego's 2 years ago and they charge just fine and I get about 4 hours per charge, new I only got about 5 hours. Not too bad if you ask me and they are 650 mah batteries.
I bought a couple of ego batteries 2 years ago. These ones had a little seasonal use in that time. We broke them out again and they are still running fine after they were charged up. Have both charged them up before they went out and also run them out..most of the time I run them down because they are only the 650's which don't run very long anyway. So I guess it is like any other rechargeable device that you have be it a cordless screw driver, drill or a cordless phone. We put our cordless phones and cell phones back on a charger and they seem to stand up well.
Lithium batteries have no "memory effect." Generally, charge them whenever you need to. Don't overcharge and don't discharge them too low.
Here's a good source you should read: Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries
Actually, all vapers should read this.

From what I hear, it's better if you DON'T discharge your batteries completely. Doing so decreases their life-span. Li-ion batteries have no memory effect so re-charging them at any time is fine.
Here's some very detailed info on batteries:

I agree, it is better to charge early. When I used egos I ALWAYS charged them early. They are ALL still going strong.
