How long should my AW Batteries last?

[SteveFromNY]

Lately, it seems like my 18500 (18490) batteries I purchased with my Provari only last like 15 minutes. I then put them on my wf-188 charger and they charge back up in like 10 minutes. I don't get it. Is it just time to replace the 5 batteries I purchased with my Provari?

CANNOT DELETE THREAD ON MY OWN

OK reading this thread now... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...e-getting-false-low-battery-flashing-led.html

I'll probably find my answer there.

Yeah, maintenance is important - and it could be your charger, too. Check the battery voltage when they're fresh off the charger. It should be 4.2 volts.

Thanks! I actually use a wf-139 at work and its the same problem.

I read the other thread and decided to pick up 2 new springs. Also, I'm going to clean the ProVari with a q-tip and alcohol when I get home. Hopefully, this works.

I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. Seems like an easy fix, though.
