With all that is going on, I decided to pull a P3 out of "stockpile". Good to run a tank every 6 months and do a grease and oil change. The Radii need a break anyway.

Looks good but kind of tall, it must be that 510 adapter adding to its length, right?

It is the extender for the 3000mah 18650. I use one battery a day. And, yes, I still see them as light sabers. I prefer my two Radius. But, a shop was closing last spring and paid $100 each. I have coffee mugs with cuzees (SP?) in my spots around the house.

I went to the Battery University to check about long-term battery storage and I found out that after a year a lithium battery stored at 32 degrees F with 40% charge would still have 98% of its capacity. Here's the article:

Me too. I hate shopping! I haven't been to a mall in years. An outlet store at as quiet a time as possible. Or online. Otherwise, I ain't goin' shopping!

I shopped at this store last month!!! Quite the name [emoji23][emoji23]

Lol!! Money is Jamaican currency! I don't know who she is but she named the store after herself! I had some fun using the name in sentences. Can't repeat any of them here or I'd get banned!!

Bronzed one - with all the various Blems I received from Provape over the course of our history together, I never got one that gave me the giggle that that one end cap did! "Ya wanna Blem? Have we got a Blem for you!"

I like your little experimentation with the battery drain. Thanks for keeping records of it and letting us know. I had a similar problem with one of mine, but I fixed it myself......
I have a (dd gorgeous) Stealth that kept draining incessantly.

Bea, I'm not a battery expert nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express but I think these AW batteries lose capacity even sitting around not being used. I was using 18490's for a period of time then switched to 18350's. So my 490's sat for well over a year. I put them back in use (for my wife's P2.5) and it wasn't long and they had significantly less capacity. Maybe some battery physiologist will come along and set the record straight.

Welp, I'm not a battery physiologist but I do play one on TV. As far as some suggestions go, here's a couple from CPF:

"Ideally you need to measure the battery voltage as it will be fully charged at 4.2 volts and fully discharged at 3.6 volts ... I would re-charge the battery at about 3.8 volts when it has still got 40% charge left in it."

And per AW:

"Please keep the voltage of all LiIon batteries above 3.8V for healthy storage. Recharge as soon as possible when you have run them down. Storing a depleted ( less than 3.6V open voltage ) battery may damage/ shorten life/cycle permanently."

So, it seems long term storage is fine, as long as we take a read on the voltage every now and then. I am constantly rotating my stash, and so far that's worked out well, even with some very old batteries.

They ARE beautiful (when brand new), and not to burst your bubble, classy, the colors don't KWITE go well together. Sowwy.

Here is another extension for P. minis but this one is long enough to use with 18650 batteries. You screw the original end cap on it. It costs about $25 but shipping from Bulgaria is another $5!

Excellent information ladies!
