How long

[Zutankhamun]

Seems like a really silly question but I just heard an arguement. One guy said CDR means continuous so you can hold the button till the battery is flat. The other guy was arguing that continuous still means and implies that the button cannot be held till the battery is flat.

It doesn't really matter to me cos my puffs are only 4-5 secs at the longest.

Just wondered who was right?

CDR is Continuous Discharge Rating. It does mean the current limit that the battery can support from full charge to empty without stopping.

Yeah, seems obvious. Just wondered cos the guy seemed so adamant about it. Suppose he'll be safe anyway though.

Eh, some people read something on the Internet and take it as gospel without looking up the facts for themselves. It's happened before, and it will happen again!

Yeah no worries K_Tech
Not really a concern of mine just interesting. Continuous = continuous but I thought wow this guy is charged up maybe he knew something I didn't. Thanks

One Guy is right - Other Guy is wrong

Thanks AzPlumber. So insightful.
Only JK.

Funny cos I was fooled by appearances of the arguement between a schoolboy and proper grown up geek.

I thought he can't be right... Can he???

 

[AzPlumber]

Well you did label them One Guy and Other Guy

I know, that's why I was overwhelmed. Great insight and meticulous reading skills.

Bet you were definitely a 'one guy' at school
