So when I bought the starter kit, it came with a 650 ego battery and a 900 ego battery. I kept the 900 for myself and gave the 650 to my dad. It seems hes burnt out the 650 in like 3 months lol. I need to get him a new battery and don't really want to go through volcano again because I feel they may be over priced. Any store/website recommendations and setup recommendations? Been enjoying the ego's with clearomizers but I think I want to get the kanger T2's for him. They seem easier than the tank+cartomizers he has right now.

You should be posting in the appropriate forum, not the new members forum. :p

The Ego C Twist and Vivi nova combo is quite popular and has a good track record. There is also the Vision Spinner. Several vendors have them, you can check out liberty flights, be sure to click on the 20% discount banner in the upper left hand corner before adding to cart ;)

The larger the MAH rating, the longer the vape time on a charge. 1000mah eGo's are regulated 3.4v batteries. I understand that the 900mah eGo's are 3.7v. Riva batteries are also 3.7v batteries. Liberty Flights is a good source for them.

At some point, you might want to look at a mod that uses AW 18650 IMR batteries. You can buy them for around $5 each and they are 2000mah. I'm 7 months into a set of 4 that I rotate and they aren't showing any signs of fatigue. A dual charger for IMR batts can be as low as $15.

Also is it better to fully drain these batteries before recharging them? Or is it better to keep them from getting drained all the way?

Li-ion and Li-Mn batts like to be charged before they get to 3.2v. You get longer life if you charge when they hit 3.4v or 3.5v. Heat is their enemy and charging produces a certain amount of heat and stress.

For all the info you need, do a little reading here.
