Question about 501 battery

[lawrenma2]

I read that you should remove your battery at night, as it still draws power when connected. Witnessed this as true this morning when I realised I left it connected to the atty last night.

Should you remove the battery even if it's just for a few hours between breaks at word, or is it ok to keep it connected for during the day and just disconnect at night?

Thanks in advance for any info!

EDIT: P.S, sorry that should have been "510" and not "501".

Hello and welcome to ecf. Since the 510's are 180 mah they only really last a couple of hours between charges if you vape heavily. You could disconnect it at night, but during the day would be a pita. Would you consider moving up to a Riva 510 or an eGo? They both have much longer battery life and you can still use the same attys' and/or cartos that you use on the 510.

Huh, never noticed that.

I started with a standard 510 and left them connected to atomizers overnight. (It was kinda' like a nightlight, couldn't use it while I slept, but felt better that it was on the headboard and ready just in case.) Always worked in the morning.

If you have auto batteries and there is any chance of wind or vibration, disconnect the atty since autos can turn on accidentally. I like to leave one or more ecigs set up all night so I bought an extra battery for each. Overnight I charge 2 batteries each for my 2 main ecigs AND leave them set up with the 3rd battery on each of them. I think they just naturally lose some power over time. My batteries are all manuals so they are off, but the short 180mah battery sometimes doesn't have a lot of drags left in it by morning.
