new 901 batts just aren't the same !

[Kit]

has any one else noticed the 901 batteries that suppliers are now selling don't seem to last as long as the old.
i would say after about a week , the power drops of substantially!
i bought 6 recently and there all now wimps !
thank god for the screwdriver,or should i say trog hehe

I haven't noticed any drop off in performance with my 901 batteries. Something I'll keep an eye on

I have noticed that the blue led on mine flashes even when its not connected to the cig or the charger !!!! ....Only had it 2 weeks.

 

[Kit]

there definitely not as good as the old ones, regarding life expectancy!
there good for a good couple of weeks infact after the first week of constant use performance drops off,and within a few weeks they soon become wimpy!

i find the 901 batteries are expensive for what they are.they don't seem to hold there charge well,and after a couple of weeks i need to change for new one

Sounds like you're getting your multis mixed up

Porn,
Yes you could be right but i do tend to throw away the ones that dont work anymore.

 

[Porn]

kate thats a horrible feeling you've put in my head ,what if ive thrown some good ones away lol

 

[Kate]

What's a horrible feeling? Talking to yourself kind of gives it away.

porn a few of us on here have noticed the new 901's are not as good as the old ones, so don't worry...i don't think you've chucked the wrong ones in the bin hehe

 

[Porn]

Porn,
well i hope not lol

the old ones used to last us a remarkable three to four hours heavy use as a single use device.. the life time before chucking a pair was a good month..

the newer ones seem to start of with a 2.5 hour run time and need chucking after two weeks.. the bottom line being the batteries now cost twice the price they used to..

the other possible alternative kit.. both u and me are giving them some more stick.. perhaps a bit of both.. my liquid consumption has gone up since i first started using 901 batteries.. to me it figures i am giving the poor little buggers more stick..

that aint a rip off price wise either.. allowing for all the techno wiz chippery junk in em they are remarkably cheap.. u cant blame the donkey for dieing when its being asked to do the job a cart horse should be doing..

[Kit]

i think your right dude,i think were pushing the devices much harder than we first started,so it could be both things,the new batteries have dropped in performance and heavier use !

lol kate . that one went staight over his head....

porn , why do you start your post with your username. you really dont need to we know who posts without the need to tell us

I noticed you've done it in another thread so i don't think you have multi accounts, which is what Kate was try to convey in a polite manner

 

[Kate]

I'll wait and see what develops. I have deja vu about this one.

 

[tribalmasters]

My black 901 batteries seem to die much quicker than the white ones
I have and also the paint is getting scratched off alot so they don't look as nice. I wonder if the pink ones are any better!

I'm having a terrible time with the battery life and reliability on my 901. I just deleted a long winded explanation. The short version is 1 completely dead battery after 2 days, and one that dies within 30 drags. This stuff is 1 week old. I have not been impressed with the 901 especially after hearing many people here rave about them. I'm probably going to order a Janty Kissbox.

 

[trog100]

bastage.. people in the know are impressed by the 901.. we also know it might not last long.. we treat all these things as semi disposable devices.. with some u pay more and get the return with a nice smile merry go round.. with others u simply buy some more spares yourself and keep going..

the 901 and kissbox seem to be the poll winners.. both top examples of whichever system u choose to go with.. the pay more and get the return with a smile or pay less and buy your own spares..

u seem to have been unlucky the 90! isnt quite that bad as a norm.. u have for some reason ended up with a bad example.. it happens..
