Batteries are one of the components of e-cigs that will need to be changed on a regular basis. Even the rechargeable batteries have a natural lifecycle, but there are simple ways that anyone can extend the life of electronic cigarette batteries.
While this may seem basic, one of the best ways to get the most life out of any electronic cigarette batteries is to start with a top of the line battery. Cheap batteries will not have the life of a good quality brand name battery, and in fact, they may end up costing you more over the long run.
Always choose the right battery for your e-cig. Incorrect electronic cigarette batteries may fit in the e-cig, but they are more likely to cause problems, to run down faster and to give you a lower quality vaping experience.
Battery Storage
Make it a habit to charge your used batteries before throwing them in the drawer or in the box. It is always better for batteries to be stored fully charged rather than on empty.
Additionally, try to use a minimum number of batteries at one time. Sitting around for a long time without use for any type of battery will degrade the life of the battery. This is typically more of a problem with electronic cigarette batteries that are only infrequently used if an individual isn’t vaping on a daily or regular basis.
Don’t Run Batteries to the Blinking Light
If you are using an e-cig with a battery indicator, by the time the light is blinking the battery is already significantly low. The new types of electronic cigarette batteries, including the lithium batteries, do better if they are charged before they reach this level.
When using a mechanical mod, it will be important to keep track of the use of the device so the batteries can be switched out or recharged before they are completely without power.
Don’t Keep Batteries in a Vehicle
Having spare electronic cigarette batteries in all your vehicles may seem like a good idea, but the extreme heat in the summer and the freezing cold in the winter is never good for battery life.
If you do have to keep batteries in a vehicle keep them in a battery case in a console or a glove box, just out of the direct sun and away from the hottest part of the vehicle, the dash right under the windshield.
