901 batteries

[ragjoy]

can you over cook them?
has anyone noticed any difference by leaving on charge too long or are there any ways of making them totally flat then charging,this helps with phone batteries so why not ecig bats.

I used to leave my 901 batteries on charge for days sometimes (I had a lot!) This thread is supposed to explain about the type of batteries we use:

But basically you can't do what you suggested. I think

Hi rag as scylla says.....
They have no memory so don't have a clue if you hit them with 100 full or 1/2 charges.

They will start to under perform pretty quickly as they are only small and the constant hammering and re-charging they get you should not expect the impossible from them.

New battery should give you about 1.5 - 2 hrs continuous vaping before a charges needed in the first week.
Week 2 it will take less time to recharge and also you will get less satisfactory vaping time from it.

Not the poor little batteries fault as the ecig was designed originally to be used for when you could not smoke an analogue cigarette not as a full time replacement.

Green = Go
The charger stops charging when it turns green so no need to leave it on there.

That's what I meant to say, Keef

My memory is so bad, I'm afraid of giving misinformation, no matter how many times I've re-read the kosher info.

thank keef and scylla for the replies.
so you are saying you cant cook the batteries then,by leaving on overnight,by that i mean the charger stops at green and dont then trickle charge.

If the light is consistently green the charger is telling you it thinks the battery is fully charged.

It will stop charging when it thinks they are charged.

If however the charge drops off a bit the charger will go back to red and start to charge again - must say I have never witnessed one do this .

Be aware if the charger developes a fault then its a whole new ball game and it could catch fire, also if the battery developes a fault there is the possibility of an explosion.

To be 100% safe with any litium battery you should never leave it unattended i.e. charging while you go out or are sleeping - it is also advisable to try have the charger - especially if left unattended - far away from flammible material - even better in a metal box .

Most people dont do any of the above and have no problems with their batteries.

I saw the trickle charge comments on the ECF
I use a NANO charger, all my spiderfire batteries are trickle charged and in over a year it has not caused them any problems.
