I wonder if the small ego batteries go bad. I have a pink one that was charged 2 times and that's all. Been in a shoe box for over a year in the basement.

yes they will go bad over time

 

[Maxedout]

I've noticed a discharge on their own over time but if you charge them every couple weeks or so they seem to last a lot longer

Fat turtle stepped on the scale this morning then in his depressed state he wondered in to the grocery store and bought fried chicken and fake ice cream. Sigh

Like all li-ion rechargeable batteries, they have a finite number of recharges in them. But there's no reason why storage should affect that. Charge it up (or send it to me. I've decided to stop futzing around. 95% of what I vape is eGos & EVODs -- preferably non-VV.)

I also had a few egos (various sizes not vv), that I had in storage for a long time. I charged them and gave a few to my daughter, they seem to be doing ok.
I am still hoping she will give up stinkies for good but she is still in transition. But she is using the egos sometimes and that means there is hope.

Lithium batteries don't hold a charge for extended periods of time... they do need to be kept up. Having said that, I've seen them keep a charge for a pretty long time... not sure about a years worth of time though. It's certainly worth a shot to try and charge it up and see.

I stole this off a flashlight forum. I did not do the testing.


On March 24, 2005 I charged an unprotected 18650 Li-Ion cell up to 4.000 volts and placed it in room temperature storage. A few hours later it was at 3.989 volts.

On March 26, 2005 it was at 3.976 volts.

On May 14, 2005 it was at 3.975 volts.

On October 1, 2005 it was at 3.974 volts.

On December 11, 2005 it was at 3.973 volts.

On February 10, 2006 it was at 3.973 volts.

On March 2, 2006 it was at 3.973 volts.

On April 19, 2006 it is at 3.973 volts.

Not much in the way of self discharge...

EDIT: I tested this cell for remaining capacity, then charged it back up to 4.000 volts and checked the capacity again. After 1 year of room temperature storage, this cell had 95% of its original capacity. END EDIT

[Carolina Vapoor]

Wow thanks to all those who chimed in. I guess I will charge it up, put a carto on it and see how long it lasts. I am going to PIF so I just want to make sure it still works decent.
