What voltage means low batt?

[Marc Dixon]

So I've been sucking on my new MVP v2 since it arrived in the mail 48 hours ago.
I still have a green batt. The level is 3.7 48 hours later...
At what volt does it mean low/needs recharge?
3.5? 3.3?
Anyway, 48 hours and it just now dropped from 3.8 to 3.7.
This thing was made for cross country road trips.
Ím lovin it.

My MVP is pretty much dead at 3.3Volts. I like to charge it a little bit before then, because there's a slight drop in performance when it's low. I've owned one for 6months, and it was my primary PV before I got mechanicals. I made a habit of discharging battery via charging cell phone once a month, and the battery lasts just as long as the day it arrived in my mailbox.

Speaking from experience, it can handle being ran over by a fully loaded ecoline 350 van too..

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to charge her up when im well inot the 3.4 rating.

Yea I read the thread mentioning the MVP getting run over. Good stuff.

Im not ready for a Mech yet. But maybe 6 months from now I'll get a Magneto or something.

I made the mistake of getting a innokin VV V3 ---- it seems to "shut off" at between 3.3 and 3.5 volts. Different battery in the MVP - so perhaps a different "safe level" as well (???)I REALLY wish I went to the MVP in spite of the size. The V3 never lasts me a day ........ never. I don't run it crazy high either - perhaps 4 volts max; it still croaks. Yes, I do vape a lot - but it just seems as if it not the great deal I "thought" it would be at all.

I use the pretend "ohms meter" more than I do the "battery". I also notice it getting warmer than I read they "might". Obviously "warm' right at "hot". So............ when I get the 'itch' for something new and not in the price range of a "P-Word" Perhaps I'll make the move.

Senile Old Man Don.......... rotten luck and all! A MVP for me .......... maybe. Talk me out of it - please!

most protected mods turn off between 3.3 to 3.5. The point is to not let them get down to 3.2, which is where most would consider a batter "discharged".

Manufacturers recommend not draining them lower than 2.5, after which they are considered "over discharged" and need a recovery capable charger.

Another thing to keep in mind is that lithium batteries are most comfortable at around 50% charge, the further you go from that in either direction the faster the battery will degrade. For instance if you were to charge your battery to 4v instead of 4.2v then it will last almost 10x longer.. of course at the expense of lower amount of charge to work with, same goes for discharging down to 3.3 vs 3.5v.
