This thread is for the general discussion of the Product Innokin Kroma-A/Zenith Tank - New Colors - Platform Series. Please add to the discussion here.
I’m partial to the purple myself but the blue looks good tooI really like the color of blue on this unit.
Hi. I’m not Bohan and I don’t work for Innokin but hopefully I can help answer some of your questions. Modern lithium-ion battery cells do not have the “memory” issues that plagued your granddad’s nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride cells. There is no problem topping them up early and in fact, it is better to do several more shallow charge-discharge cycles than fewer, deeper cycles through the same total energy. What they don't like is being charged to too high a voltage or discharged too low. Keep them above 2.7v (3.0+ is better) and make sure the recharge cuts off at 4.2 (or earlier. Even 4.1 is better for them, but they won’t last as long between charges that way.)Hi @Innokin_Bohan,
l’m just confirming some information to a question I posted on the main contest page about charging and maintaining optimum battery life with the Kroma.
Question 1
My question is, do you need to let the Kroma battery drop to around 30% but not let it drop bellow 10-20% before charging?
Question 2
Do your charging recommendations also apply to my MVP4’s?
Question 3
If the Kroma is at 50% and you know that you are going out and would like a full battery, is there any harm in charging it when it still has 50% battery power left?
Thanks,
Vonnie
I vape therefore I am.

Go ahead and top off your batteries whenever it’s convenient, there’s no need to fully drain them first and doing so anyway isn’t doing them, or you, any favors.
