(full charge greatly shortens battery life).

When looking closely at the numbers, this detail checks out as another Internet myth.

When only using 50% of capacity and getting twice as many charge cycles equates to the exact same USAGE life.

You may increase the usage life by a slim margin, but saving 10 cents or so over the course of a couple years isn't worth the effort of monitoring the charger constantly for that perfect moment.

ETA; utilizing the cell WELL below it's rated specs, storing them at their nominal voltage for any prolonged periods without use, storing them in a cool, dry environment and charging on a charger with a soft start that slowly ramps up to full amperage will ALL do MAGNITUDES more good in prolonging the usage life of your cells.

The xtar VP4 is next on my list.

Fantastic choice.

I have the i2, i4, efest luc 4 bay, vp2 and vp4.

The vp2 and vp4 are BY FAR my most trusted, sacred investments into vaping.

I can't believe you are non-believer.
When you charge battery to 86% (4.1V instead of 4.2 V) you will double number of charge cycles. Huge savings on batteries (unfortunately I am not a faithful saver...)

Spent years focused on lithium batts before I came here. Dozens of guys have graphed out thousands of batteries life cycles and proven that dramatic savings is bunk.

Battery U is great for general knowledge. But you have to be careful. A false detail will get you one day.

I was never focused on batteries. I just follow common sense. It tells me battery university is generally right, at least in this specific section.

And I followed data meticulously gathered by guys who followed every detail on hundreds of dedicated batts.

You believe what you want.

I tried...
