Do you really let batteries sit?

[g3mma]

Morning folks, 

I have read on some posts that people let their batteries sit for an hour or so before using is this correct or just a myth? And do you guys actually do it? Thanks

I can't help picturing a little battery armchair I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I think most people use them when they are charged and recharge them when they aren't.

What is the stated advantage of letting them sit?

Mine sit around for a while, but only because I have too many

Lol Dragon . . . is it something like this you've read Gemma?

I've never consciously done it anyway.

•When charging batteries via USB - NEVER over-tighten them in the charger
•Never over-tighten atomisers onto your device, screw only until contact is made
•Don't heat, incinerate or reverse polarity
•Do not over-charge or over-discharge
•Always use the correct charger for the batteries
•Always use the exact batteries recommended, do not attempt to economise by buying alternative batteries. The increased risk of an explosive event is not worth it
•Don't use unprotected li-ion/ICR batteries
•Never leave batteries unattended when charging
•Do not put batteries on wood surface or carpet when charging
•Remove batteries from the charger immediately the light turns green
•Set freshly charged batteries aside for a couple of hours before using •Store safely in specially designed battery containers - NEVER loose in your pocket or bag where they could come into contact with other metal items and cause a dangerous explosive event.
•Discontinue using a battery if it fails to retain a charge or looks damaged in any way
•We are not responsible for any damage caused by misuse or mishandling
•Please dispose of safely and according to regulations

From cloud9 vaping and everywere else i've seen quoting battery safety

If I need to use a battery after charging I use it.
Some may sit for a while but only because I don't need it straight away and never had any problems.

Good stuff Gemma . . . thanks for being a sport.


Though our Dragon is a lady.

[g3mma]

How dare I assume! I'm super sorry dragon

I didn't think it was a stupid question, my irony is infamous

I was actually curious, I like learning new things, so I wanted to know if there was something to it, was just the first time I had heard of it (maybe reading instructions might be a future plan )

You have already had your revenge however. Puff the pipe is indeed a guy (very handsome if I do say so myself) I'm just the unremarkable gal that takes care of him
