So I started off with 2 eGo-T batteries, both are failing miserably now. I've had them for a little over a month, one quit completely, and the other holds a charge for about 5 minutes. What's the deal here?
How long did your eGo batteries last?

For me it was always like the old "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"
I never really found out because I would rip the head off, loose the button or otherwise destroy them long before they would die a natural death. And then, I moved on before one could age out.
So really, I have no answer to your question, but hey WELCOME !

My first was an ego c kit with 2 - 650mah batts ordered April 2013. One batt stopped holding a charge a few months ago, the 2nd batt just died on me for good just a few weeks ago. So i got 18-19 months out of them. I do miss the small size of them, easy to sneak a vape with those
My ego batteries both didn't last more than a week. Was frustrating. Eventually I figured because I love vaping it's time for an upgrade
I had 4 of them. 1 quit working within a month. Another lasted 2-3 months. The other 2 still work but only hold a charge for 3-4 hours whereas before they'd go almost all day..... but still function after almost 10 months nonetheless. Toward the end of using them, I kept a charger at work, a charger at home and a charger in the car and would just keep a battery on charge.
When I had all 4 in rotation, I kept one on charge in my office at work when I was around, one on charge at home when I was around, one on charge in the car when I was out and about, and carried one with me. That way no matter what I had a hot battery. It seemed to work well.
Then I started lurking a bit online for upgrades and picked up an MVP and just top off/pass through vape whenever I'm at my desk or in the car.

I have all mine in a drawer still working. The better Joyetech ones are fine after daily use for over 2yrs.
20-25 bucks may seem steep for just one ego, but it's a value after awhile. And I feel comfortable leaving the house with just one set-up.

Two Evod 900's still going strong after 5+ months, including almost 4 months of daily (sometimes twice daily) charging.
Basically the same story here. When I started I bought four real Joyetech eGo batteries, used them daily non stop for my first nine months of vaping... and over three years later I could still use them if I want to. They still hold a near capacity charge. So there is the "Where can I get the cheapest possible price on a..." factor when it comes to longevity. With cheap knockoffs you never know what they shoved inside there.
The other thing that comes into play here is while eGo batteries haven't changed much inside what people are screwing onto them has. These batteries are not high drain stuff and aren't designed for low resistance gear. 1.8 ohm coils are pushing the limits of eGo batteries and anything lower than that can reduce their lifespan or simply blow the protection circuit, rendering the battery non functional.
Got 5 of them off ebay and they have been working fine for 5 months. I use 1-2 per day.
Ego batteries BLOW. I bought the ego spinner for my first batt and I got two months outa it. Luckly it was still under warranty. And as a matter roof fact, I'm taking one in today for a warranty replacement. I got anew Tesla mod and it works wonders 31$ on Amazon. Good luck vape hard
I had two eGo-twists that I switch hit with. After about 6 months they began to peter out (not holding a charge as long).
Eventually, though, they died because the tops came off and broke the wires inside.

I've had mine for 4 months and they still work fine. I don't use them as much now that i moved to a Evod 1300, an Aspire CF VV 1600 and the MVP2. But I still have those two 650s and the 1100 Ego-twists and they are great backups. when they were all I had it seemed like they were all getting charged daily (dual coil tanks can drain them pretty quick). You should definitely get more than one month's use out of them.
I have two 650 mAh eGo batteries, one is slightly more than 2 months old, the other slightly less. Both of their 'lives' have definitely diminished, so while they're certainly not as 'lively' when I got them, I can get an hour and a half or so out of each. Both of the chargers know the outlet in my wall quite well, and they are very familiar with the dc/ac inverter in my car as well..
The electronic Tesla? (As opposed to the mechanical out there under the same name.) If it's the electronic APV - good luck with that. The fire switch is crap and you will be lucky if it works for 90 days. Don't believe it comes with a warranty at all either. So...
