Charging the AW IMR 2000 mah

[Shortstuff116]

Two questions:

1. My Provari usually starts blinking around 3.4 volts. If I unscrew the cap (completely) and screw it back in, I can get up to 4 hours more vaping time (moderate use) before it starts flashing again and then shows either 3.3 or 3.2 volts. Is there anything wrong with doing this? I think I remember reading somewhere that Li-mn batteries do not have a memory?

2. When I pull my batteries off the charger, they measure exactly 4.20 volts with a Fluke multimeter. At what voltage would it be ok to put one on the charger before the flashing light? Let's say I need both batteries fully charged in the morning for an all day trip, and the night before one battery reads at 3.6 or 3.7 volts, is it ok to put it on charge?

I am using a TR-001 charger which I always remove the battery once it show a full charge.

i think they say don't discharge below 3.5v. your battery won't last as long as it can if you continually do it. you can put them in early at any time. I don't like mine to go down below 3.8

What tybin said.

Also, you can recharge your AW IMR at any time. You don't have to wait until your Provari starts to Flash.

So if you want both Batteries charged for an all day trip, just put them Both on the Charger.

Safe operating range is 4.2-3.2 volts. I dunno where y'all came up with 3.5?

Yes, you can charge the batts whenever you want. They have no memory.

It may be "Safe" to drain this type of Battery down to 3.2 volts. But from what people tell me who have Knowlage of Batteries, repeated discharging this type of battery to that level Will Shorten it's Lifespan Significantly.
