Life of Tenergy 3.0v batteries

[Cherice]

Out of curiosity, how long are your Tenergy 3.0v batteries lasting? Seemed like when I first got them they lasted pretty long. However, now that I've been using them for a while, they seem to taper off more quickly. Is anyone else noticing this? I got the original with the Xhaler as well as some additional ones from batteryjunction and I see this occurring in both... Does anyone know how long they are supposed to last by chance?

I've been using mine for months with no drop off.. Very good batteries IMO

About how long do they last in your xhaler before you have to change them out? How many hours/days of life?

 

[doots]

I dont have the xhaler but use them in my Chuck
2x3v=6v

Mine are lasting a good 4-5 hours. sometimes more but at least 4 or 5.

Cherice, I'm noticing the same with my Chuck. I was impressed in the beginning to get 8-9 hours, now 3-4 weeks later I get 2+ to 4 hours. Seems if they were charged the night before and ready to go...doesn't go very far the next day.

I'm in sort of deep now with 3 chargers and more batteries on the way just because they don't last that long IMO(s).

I can tell you don't get CR123A Rechargeable Lithium LiFePO4 Batteries. They only worked for 2-4 hours right from the beginning.

I'd love to hear of what batteries have better results or maybe there isn't any?

Thanks for the feedback. At least it's nto just me. I set my hopes too high with these, lol. It is what it is..

I use two of the Unprotected 17335x1000mAh battery's from deal extreme and get 3to4+ hr. out of them vaping almost nonstop at 5 volts in the Xhaler and my AdapterR at 6 volts and many other home made mods that I have at 5 or 6 volts.

Are you vaping at 5 volts?? If so I've found after the batteries taper off a bit I can loosen that cap and get a little more power out of them.

I think mine have been lasting about 4-5 hours at 5 volts.

Yeah, I am at 5v. I will try the loosened cap. Thanks for the tip

 

[geeker]

did anyone ever find out how loosening the cap changes the voltage?

I have had the exact same experience w/ mine. 3-4 weeks of 8 hours or so, then they drop off a bit. I had expected they would put out the same performance until they reached the cutoff voltage for the protection but now they seem to drop off after 4-5 hours. Happens every day, but even so I always wonder if my atty is dying until I swap to the other pair. I have another charger and 14 more batts on order from battery superstore on Amazon, seems like they're waiting on Tenergy to ship them some more before they can fill my order.

Well, I am gonna suck it up and stick with these. I was going to order more from batteryjunction but found a better deal. All-Battery.com has a 6-pack with charger for $26.99 and free shipping if you use code 'tenergydeals' in case any of you are interested.

If you dont mind the wait on shipping all-battery, is ok. I ordered from them and waited 3-4 weeks to get them. I now order from Battery Junction and get them in 3-5 days. Maybe it was just my order from all battery that delayed them. Cant remember which batteries I ordered.

Good to know. We'll see. Luckily I am in no hurry and simply want them as backups. Thanks for the head's up!

Welp, they shipped today with tracking info so it looks like they cleaned up their act (in case anyone else is interested)

mine are only getting about 3-4 hrs...originally they lasted me all day

I'm not sure about these batteries but I remember reading that some batteries needed to charge/discharge a few times before getting to peak capacity.

I am not sure if this is true or not, not sure if it applies to these batteries. I'm now keeping an eye on how long they last to see how they're performing. I'm rotating 3 sets.

Yeah, I agree. I read on the package that they need to fully discharge and charge 3x completely to condition them when you first use them. I have followed those steps and am still getting less than ideal performance. I don't get as little as 3-4 hours, however, I get about 1 day max.
