So, do batterires lose charge even if not being used?

I have been reading some things here about battery life and am still a bit confused; take a typical 510 battery. If I charge it fully and it just sits around not being used, will it still be fully charged or is it slowly getting weaker just sitting there?

If you have a lot of 510 batteries don't leave the ones you don't use (spares) fully charged. vape off a little of the charge and store them. They will chemically degrade if stored fully charged for weeks on end.

Self-discharge, day to day, is very low for a Li-ion battery (like the 510).
After a week, you might want to top off before vaping.

Great, thanks!

What about the KR-808 battery, is it the same deal?

'bout the same thing for all the common Li-ion batteries.
Even the ones the mod guys use.
