lifespan of Ultra IFR 14250 LFP 3.2v Rechargeable Batteries?

[thyssen]

i purchased a pair Ultra IFR 14250 LFP 3.2v Rechargeable batteries to use with my Vapage v-mod 2.0 about 2 months ago. It seems like they don't hold a full charge as well cuz i'm not getting as much vapor as i used to .. is this normal? they are 200 mah 3.2 v batteries .. they usually last a few hours before i have to switch them out for my spares and recharge. i switch them out about once or twice a day. Is it time to get new batteries?

Welcome , but you don't say what devices , your using or the ohm ratings of said carto's or whatever . Have you tried new carto's ?? Is the vapor good , when you first install the batteries , then drop off considerably ?? Do you have a volt/ohm meter , that you can check the voltage of the batteries , before and after a charge ??? Have you already charged the batteries , alot ??? If so , you may indeed need new batteries , but really can't say , give the information you have provided .

device : vapage v-mod 2.0 (bottom feeder tank)
carto : 2.8 ohm silo cartomizer
batteries : 2 x stacked 3.2 v Ultra IFR 14250 LFP
i do have a voltage meter and with freshly charged batteries (under load) the reading is 5.1
i have charged the batteries a lot .. i guess .. not sure what a lot is .. they only last a few hours and i have to switch to a freshly charged pair aobut once or twice a day .. been doing this for about a month and a half
