I have the TW Platinum DSE 901. One of the batteries is strong as always and the 2nd is starting to produce a much weaker vape and slightly shortened battery life. Are there any tricks that can be done to bring some life back into the battery?
I'm afraid the battery is just going for a slow death, resulting in replacement.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know how to revive these batteries, I don't know what your 901 batteries cost, but the Nebula and Vapor King batteries will work with the 901 atty, and I found them to be very good batteries, might be something for you to look at for a replacement.

When you do get tired of the constant battery buying get a magnum or SD as the battery life and replacement cost are so much better. I use the magnum at home and I use the others I have for work etc... witch I hope will extend their battery life.

no matter wich supplier you get a 901 from it will be flakey as hell ..... get a janty dura .... its just amazing ... very similar to the 901 but loads better ...nothing is compatible with the 901 except the carts .... and the manual batteries are just fantastic ... bothe my TW 901 batts went lame after a week so i oonly use it with a powered passthrough .... but janty now have a dura passthrough ... so i think the 901 will be used on the pass through in the car off the cig lighter

You might want to try this...

Run the battery down to completely dead so the led starts flashing the instant you start drawing on your 901. Once the battery is completely discharged place it in a charge and leave it for 12 hours.

This could potentially help as LiPoly batteries can sometimes have a 'memory effect' that causes them to stop using all of the batteries capacity in the same way NiCad batteries do.

WARNING, this does NOT apply to LiIon batteries so keep your cell phones charged. ;)

901 batteries seem to be hit or miss. I don’t know why but some seem to work forever and some well just say they suck. I have one know its two days old and I did the initial 10 hour charge and for some stupid reason or another you touch the battery and activates by it’s self. Thank goodness I did not connect the atomizer to and put in my pocket. Ice199 probably would have melted.

Just an update, my "stronger" battery is still running strong as it was day 1 which is now little over 4 months old. The "weaker" battery hasn't changed. It just lasts slightly less and produces a tad less vape. I alternate the batteries daily.

The routine is wake up, swap batteries, go to work, go home, go to bed, vaping occasionally the entire time, repeat. Sometimes the weaker battery doesn't make it through the evening, sometimes it does.

No complaints here!
