I really considered the eVic mini. reviews stated it is heavy and the corners are not comfortable. So, I passed.
Reviewers either lied or are spoiled... it's not heavy, it's solid. The corners are rounded enough, too. I find it plenty comfy...

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been wondering how long the internal batteries would be viable in storage. Just an approximation. Would it be better to keep them at full charge or let them run down before recharging?

I never thought of them "going bad"! I have 2 that I've never opened. Was saving them for that FDA day in the future. Should I open them and keep them charged? I thought if I kept them in their sealed boxes, they'd be all good when I needed them. Tell me, do isticks expire???:eek:

Leave 'em be. Li ion (lipo) batteries store best around 60% capacity. Most are boxed a little over that, but should be fine for a while.

Remember that once you start using them, they're good for around 300 charges before they really start to fall off... 1 year, basically, if charged daily. If two are in rotation, longer... ymmv

Whew...thanks, Shawn! I have quite a few in my rotation, so they don't get charged even daily. I'll leave the two reserve sticks in, well, reserve.:)
