Riva bat ?

[shelli]

I get up this am swap out my riva battery for a freshly charged one and its dead within 2 hours? Bad battery?

Depends. What are the ohms of the atomizer or cartomizer on it?

If you put something like a 1.5 dual coil on it, you will not only use the charge up very fast, some think it could possibly damage the battery.

Also that 100mah = 1 hour of moderate vaping does not mean constant vaping.

if you are using reasonable ohms and think the battery is defective and it's fairly new, contact your vendor. I know Liberty-Flights.com has some short-length warranty on batteries if that's where you bought it.

Yes I did buy it from Liberty flights. I have had it charged the full 8 hes and up and running with a lot of inconsistency from both of the battalion I got. Low vapor production and they had been lasting about 4 hrs. I am using boge 2.0 cartomizers and carts to try new flavors. Idk maybe I'm expecting to much.

Are you using the charger that came with the kit? Are you cleaning the battery connection on both the battery & the charger before you charge your batteries. If yes, than you might have a bad charger. Can you check the output voltage of the batteries after taking them off the charger? You should be seeing around 4v.

I don't think you're expecting too much. With a 2.0 cartomizer they should last longer than that. I would definitely contact them.

Make sure the connection is clean on the charger. You could get one of those tiny screwdrivers you use for eyeglasses and very gently pull the center pin of your battery up slightly to see if it's making a proper connection with the charger and your carts. But I would email LF. They usually reply very quickly.

Even if you're using 1.5-2.0 Low Res Cartos you should get at least 4 hours of substantial vaping from that battery. I think one of the reasons LF gets recommended here a lot is that they have a warranty.

I second the "sounds like a connection problem".

Yep, Rivas, even with LR atties last at least 4-6 hours. I would also suspect the charger, When you screw the battery into the charger and then plug the charger in, does the light on the charger stay red for at least a couple of hours? I often have to give my batteries an extra quarter turn to get the light to stay red. You don't want to force them in, but the first contact sometimes is not tight enough.
