These cells have a long service life, whether Li-Mn or Li-ion, so if they seem to have had a short life there is an issue here you must fix - or your next set will have exactly the same problem. Sounds as if either your charger is faulty, or they are Li-Mn cells and you allowed them to run down below the minimum discharge level. Li-Mn's have no protection package built in, so you have to recharge them well before they 'die' on you. If a Li-Mn cell is allowed to go down to the point where it's dead, then, yes - it's dead :)

You need a backup system (or two), all long-time vapers have a ton of backups because of this situation. You can't buy these batteries on main street, Radio Shack / Tandy / Maplin / RS Components are unlikely to have them except by mail order. Get a backup system like an eGo or similar, you can get the parts from any supplier. The minimum number of batteries or sets of batteries any long-time vaper has is three sets for any given set-up, less than that and you will be in trouble some day.

If you put the batteries and the atomizers or cartos together to make up a full working unit, the minimum number I ever heard of anyone having is 5 full units plus 100ml of liquid. Having less than this to fall back on produces a strange sort of trembling in experienced vapers, it's something like a fear of running out of food, water, electricity and gas/petrol combined, and with no way of getting any for a month. Not good :)

Get backups, and then get some backups for your backups.
