Dead 510 Mega Batteries

[Phayah]

I bought 4 510 mega batteries about 4-5 months ago and 2 of them have completely died. It seems like the other two are getting weaker as well. The small batteries are still going strong but I will say my husband and I have used these much less.

For those of you that use these batteries, how many months do you usually get out of them?

It looks like you got quite a lot of life out of them. Batteries can die within weeks to months, but average (I think) may be around 2 months but again its not uncommon for them to last longer or die very quickly.

I'd be interested to hear about the experiences of other folks as well. When I started up vaping nearly 3 months ago I got a 510 kit that came with 2 standard batteries and a few days later purchased 2 mega batteries from a different vendor. I used the standard batteries a lot more than the megas for nearly 2 months(by a factor of 4-6x). I tended only to use the megas when both of my standard batteries needed charging. Nevertheless, both of my megas failed after only 6 or 7 weeks, and only a couple days apart, with an estimated 40-50 recharges each at the very most. Fortunately I got them from an excellent vendor who honored his stated warranty and replaced them promptly and without a hassle. In fact he went above and beyond throwing in a couple extra with the replacements for my trouble. I've had no problems with the replacements yet for going on 4 weeks, and I use the megas much more heavily now(partly because I want to see how they hold up). I'm guessing I've already recharged the replacements more than the original. I see people often referring to so-called bad batches of this item or the other, and maybe there's really something to that. The 2 original standard Joye batteries are also still going strong with no dropoff in performance(such as it is) that I can tell yet. I have yet another mega battery that a third vendor sent me as a demo(to test out for them) and it's still going strong after nearly 6 weeks of regular to heavy use.
