Putting used batteries back into storage:

I bought a handful of DNA40 mods and am running them for several days each before putting them into the stash.

I didn't want to take the VTC4 and 5 out of my daily-drivers, so I'm using one of the 25Rs already in the stash. I'd put them in without charging, having read that the partial charge state they ship in is the best for long-term storage.

When I get ready to put this battery back into storage, after verifying these new mods, what charge level do I want to bring it down to before putting it away?

I'm not terribly worried about battery availability, but don't want to waste it, either, considering it may be a year or two before I come back to it.
I believe a 40% charge is usually recommended for storage. I figure around 3.5v or so.

Saw this on Facebook. Please go give them a 10 rating. It was at 9.9 when I went and rated. They need vaper support to get it in theaters! Read the reviews if you don't know what this is about.

A Billion Lives is now on IMDB with a 9.5 out of 10 rating!

If you love it, please give us a 10. Hollywood is watching & the haters are coming...

I like to keep them at 3.6-3.7V, because that's where all the new batteries I've received have been, and I figure the manufacturers know what they're doing. I have some spare batteries that have never been put in service. I try to check them a few times a year and take them back to 3.7V if they've fallen below 3.6V.

Some devices will eventually drain the battery below safe levels.
Yeah,i found that out the hard way.I have 2 mods that i left the batteries in for an extended time without using them,and ruined both batteries.The mods still work fine,but the batteries were completely drained and wouldn't take a charge anymore.

    alright Fasttech says itis having a sale again tomorrow. Somehow it never works out and the code never works for me. I hear it might be a time difference thing. Does anybody know optimum to try it EST?
    I'm just curious how you found out about that. I am grateful for the information if it proves to be correct. I have been on a bit of a spending spree. Luckily I don't have a wife to crack that whip anymore.

    If you're talking about their Sunday "up to 15% off sale" they've been having every week its only for a few items that are different every Sunday. If you go to their home page and at top click on "Community", and then " customer forums", and then "Promotions"(on left hand side) you will be able to find this weeks thread where they tell you what's on sale. Looks like this weeks are: Eleaf ijust2, kanthalA1, Eleaf GS-Tanks coils, and Clapton wire.

    I'm hoping they have a 4th of July coupon! I want a few more things
    I'm saving my pennies for July 4 sales. It's really the last holiday (in the US anyway) before Deemsday. On that day, I will be finalizing my independence!
