Titan Mega Battery Problem

[Thalinor]

Anyone else notice that the battery life has drastically been reduced after a few charges? When I first got this thing I was thrilled at how long the battery life was, but now after a few weeks of use it’s lasting me as long as my regular titans last.

On that note, my now 2.5 month old titans are not lasting even close to when I first got them. If that was a solid 2.5 months of use I would be ok with it but I stopped using them full time after the first month when i got other model e-cigs. I know how to prolong lithium Ion batteries and store them at around 65% charge, never run them out completely, and charge them up before use. My freekin 3 year old iPod battery is still as "young" as the day I got it and works flawlessly. I applied the same guidelines I read written in several papers about prolonging lithium ion batteries to my titan e-cigs but it seems not to have worked.

Anyone else experiencing the same thing? My Mega Battery lasts half as long as It did 3 weeks ago when I bought it from TW.

My 8 week old pass-through that was slowly dying has finally stopped working today as well. I found another poster having the same problem with his that’s the same age as mine. Wonderful...

It sounds like your batteries are just getting old. Because the batteries are so small for what they do they are under a lot of pressure to perform! I find the life of these small batteries about 1 - 3 months so grab a multi pack and all will be OK again

The ones that the life got shorter after a few charges is not right tho, they should last longer than that

Come on man, we both know that 1-3 months is not acceptable for a lithium Ion battery. My cell phone battery has about the same surface area as my titan mega battery. Its a blackberry that I am constantly messing around with and that battery at least lasted 8 months before I started seeing wear and tear affect lifespan.

Read the article below. I have followed this model with my iPod for the past 3 years and the battery is still near flawless. My blackberry battery however I have not been kind to, and after 10 months now its almost dead. My ecig batteries have been treated the same way as my iPod. I should not have a 3 week old battery with half its lifespan then when I first received the thing. Furthermore, I should expect several months of use out of something being driven by a lithium-ion battery.

"Although lithium-ion is memory-free in terms of performance deterioration, batteries with fuel gauges exhibit what engineers refer to as "digital memory"." (From Below Article)

My guess is they set that "fuel gauge" to a lower number of charges to sell more batteries. In today’s environmentally fuc**d world you this is flat out irresponsible. A small battery has less charges then a larger battery. That’s scientifically incorrect. We should be getting 300-500 charges out of this thing.

"A lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than a full discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no concern of memory when applying unscheduled charges."
