Need a good reliable 901 Battery

[greenie]

Thanks for listening if you dare.

This is not a reflection on the vendors who have no control over quality but I am a bit piqued at the moment.

In the last month I have bought three batteries from three different suppliers.

1st battery...lights up at random. Lately it just lit up and continued to fry the atty. ( gone )

2nd battery...had battery life of about 1.5 hours which I hear is in the average range but still annoying with the final finish of it staying lit and trying to fry my atty. (gone)

3rd battery I bought and received a couple days ago.I was from a company who I had bought batteries before so I thought this would be a good one. I was relieved because of the other two were pains and operated and died in ways I had never seen before.

Another big disappointment. This battery I have to turn in increments to get it to fire. I feel like I am trying to start a fire with flint just to get a vape.



All I want is to buy a battery that, after the initial charge, fires when I tell it to, keeps a charge for 2 hours, charges fully and completely and lasts at least 30 days. I think that is a fair expectation for a product.

Because I have bought three not so good batteries around the same time period a month I just wonder why there isn't any consistency in product quality??? and who has a good working model at this very moment.

Well how about this then.

Why or what is up with the threads on the battery that it only connects when I play with turning it in on to the atty in increments? It isn't always in the same place before the battery lights. I would be content enough with a consistent place to leave the the battery screwed onto the atty but always the connection will be lost at some point and I am ever turning it ever so slightly to get it to work.

I've cleaned the threads. Should I try using steal wool on the threads? Is there a specific placement between atty and battery that makes a connection or is it the threads too? If I could figure out how to make a better connection it would work as it should. It doesn't act like there is a short on the inside because I had one of those already but I could be wrong but I don't think so. When I get that connection I can get one to three good vapes before it goes out again.

I don't want to send it in for 'repair's if it is something I can fix myself.

Hey there! I have also had issues with 901 batteries purchased this month. One required so much pressure to turn on that it was painful to attempt to use it for more than 5 minutes. The other would turn on no problem, but then started turning on by itself and not turning off. I was able to save my atty - barely. Ya think there may be a bad batch of auto batteries!?! I think I will order a couple of manual batteries and hope this solves the problem.

Probably.
