Quick question

[deeezer]

I alternate my batteries, but this is good to know.

I've never heard that about any Li-ion battery. I normally read the instructions that say to charge them fully before use. In fact, where I work, we build next gen batteries for vehicles. We only charge them 25-50% before shipping them out. Doesn't seem to bother them. Anyway.... my 2 cents

Baditude's blog talks generally to battery use imediately after charging regardless to the type mod. Since there is no way to know it is, I'm sure, a conservative approach.
The internal temp of the battery may not be reflected by the case temp. Internally is where the battery failure would occur. Please don't blow your face off due to not allowing your battery to cool.

I know this is the internet so everything is true but exactly *why* is resting your batteries after a charge recommended? Other than "failing violently", nobody's really explained why they fail after a charge.

Are they the Ni-Cad type? But for better Lithium-ion charge it a little from <above 40% to nearly full, you dont have to go to a 100%. Also they don't like to be completely depleted from max-charged state or stored at full charge for a long time.

Got y first mod today, vamo v5, and the guys at my local store said to let my batteries sit an hour or two after they charge before I start to use me. Since this is my first mod, and never having dealt with batteries before I was wondering if this is true, or just something they think it true.

I let my Batteries sit for 5 minutes or so after charging.

I think an Hour or Two is Kinda Overkill.
