Question on charging batteries?

[Vape On]

I am a newbie and this was the only place I was able to post this as I am a newbie!

Anyway, great forum and a lot of wonderful help. I just received my eGo about a week ago and have been wondering how often everyone charges their batteries? I rotate between the two batteries I have throughout the day and then when I get home I start recharging one of them and then when I go to bed I will charge the other. They both get about 5-7 hours charge time before the next day. Is this alright or is their a better way? Appreciate the help, love vaping and just want my batteries to last as long as they can!
Vape On!

i just charge mine till the light turns green--2 hrs. i think it has a built in cut off so i don't think leaving them on a long time really does much. someone more tech savvy may know

The chargers are smart chargers. I leave mine on all night allot of times. It won't hurt them. What will hurt them more is to put them away without a charge. Li-ion batteries degrade fast when they don't have a chrge in them. Welcome to ECF BTW.

I charge both mine all night also.

I'm another one who charges all night (unless the light turns green before I go to bed, which is often...lol)

Got another all nighter here. Will not hurt them. Welcome to the party deankrob

I used to have two chargers so I could charge both my batteries at night. Madvapes has them for under $5 if I remember right. It's the USB kind with no cord. They work for the ego. Also it should help your long term battery life a little since it's a slower charge.

Here's a little hint about recharging batteries:

Always clean off the connections on the battery before you put it on the charger. Juice gets in there and if enough builds up it'll prevent the battery from making a proper connection with the charger.

So appreciate the welcome and the answers to my charging question. I know it is not a long time but, I am 7 days analog free and not looking back....no desire, vaping is the greatest! Vape On!

Hi Deankrob, welcome to ECF and congrats on your new state of health!

I am using 1 battery until its light rapidly flashes then place it on the charger while using the other <already charged> battery.
You should not have to swap out the batteries several times a day unless you're chain vaping - sounds like you might be making more work for yourself than needs to be?
