When to charge my batteries

[glennnnnnn]

I have read alot of stuff during my time here but Ive become confused

I mostly use Untrafire CR2 batteries

To extend the batterie life
Am I best to charge them as soon as I feel a small difference in the vapor, or let them run down alot more

Ive been juggling 4 sets for about 2 months now and Im pretty sure they are nearing the end of their usefullness

Any guidelines??


Cheers

Glenn

I've heard its best not to let them run down, charge as often as possible. I've been doing that as I slowly accumulate more batteries.

Lithium batteries have no particular charge/recharge preference. Charge them anyway you want.

I like recharging my 18650 and 14500 batteries when they drop to about 3.8 or 3.9 volts to give me *my* personal best vape. I don't always measure the voltage, but can tell by the quality of the vapor, it starts getting "thin" in vapor while the flavor comes up a wee bit.

I agree. Get a volt meter. Never let mine get under 3.7v. After a while you can tell when they are about to that point.
