How long does an Ego battery last

[sjs]

How long should I expect Ego batteries to last?

I bought my first Ego kit at the start of january but only bought a single kit
til I seen if vaping was for me. 2 weeks later I went halfs with my friend
on a double kit so we both had a spare kit and it was cheaper than buying 2.

My friend was round the other day and said one of his batteries wasn't holding a
charge anymore and only lasts around 2 hours. As I usually top up the charge in mine
I hadn't noticed but after trying them one lasted most of the day yesterday and the
other one has only lasted 2 1/2 hours this morning.

The batteries are all 1100mah I know that batteries deteriorate over time but I
didn't expect them to go this quick especially when they are getting swapped
around regularly!

Mine still last all day long sjs after 2 months of hard use. Check the contact pins are up on the battery so they make a good contact with charger and give the contacts of charger and battery a clean with a cotton bud and either vodka or pure alcohol from chemist. Stick it back on charge and see what happens.

I clean contacts once a week on all chargers and batteries on the ego's.

Thanks rosco!

I've been cleaning the contacts with a cotton bud regularly and making sure there's no juice leaked onto
the contact points and the contact pins seem ok. I get an instant connection light when I put it on charge!

Keep Smiling

Sounds like a dodgy battery then sjs, maybe somebody else has a few ideas?

Drop the vendor an email and see what they say, i know Vapelnd give a 3 month warranty on ego batts so maybe your supplier does to?

Yep starting to think we got unlucky and got 2 dud batteries :-[

Don't even know if it was the original ones we bought or the ones from the double kit
LOL I knew we should've bought a different colour

I'd contact the vendor. The batteries should last longer than that. I've got Ego batteries that I've had for a year or more and they still hold a charge, admittedly I don't often use them now but I did when I first had them

are you a heavy vapour ?
and what ohm atomiser are you using
low ohms drain the batery faster
wich ego kit was it the new 1000mah ego c are upgrade baters says on the side under the name i have an upgrade these are variable voltage again drain fater when used in variable mode
is your button blue when presed or off white supose to be orange ?
my ego c 1000mah will last about half a day 5 to 8 hrs @ 3.3 volts with 2.4 and 2.8 atomisers heavey vaping

[sjs]

Thanks deesigner

I'm going to try contacting the vendor! I just wanted to check how long other people were getting
out of them before I did anything!

LOL I was told when I started that clearos only last a few weeks but at this rate my original
clearo is going to outlast the batteries

[sjs]

Thanks esme and punisher

I wouldn't say I'm a heavy vaper a 10ml bottle lasts me around 8 or 9 days!
I'm using 2.4 ohm clearos
The batteries say Ego T on them and are 1100 mah not variable voltage with a blue light

ah ok 10ml last me a day so its not heavy vaping

i would definately try lifting the centre pin, the 1100mah battery roughly last 900 puffs,well that is what the manufactors claim

[robby]

Hi , If the light is changing from red to green on the charger then they are getting to 4.2volts okay. I think they may be getting a bit "tired". It is the way that lithium batteries age and that is a pretty good sign of ageing. Two hours is nowhere near what they should last on a 1100mah battery :-S

always thought exactly what to they decided what a puff is[ yes heard that joke lol] could be a 1 sec inhale or is it min of a 5 sec inhale....so Evic owners with puff counters do a test , does the puff counter reduce per use or ie try a 1 sec or 5 sec puff reduce counter still one at time

LOL I take it that makes me a total lightweight at vaping then

Hi Sadie The centre pin seems fine I've had to lift it once before on one of the batteries but
I checked it today and it's ok.

Hi robby yep the light changes red to green! I understand that batteries start to lose charge as they
get older but I didn't expect them to start dying at 6 weeks old if it's the first ones we bought.If they
are the ones from the later double kit they are only around 4 weeks old.
