Hi all, New post, new question, hopefully a easy one... Is the correct way to charge these batteries to A) run them down to flat, then fully recharge.. OR B) just charge them regularly as and when you get chance? Guessing A) but some modern batteries don't like going flat so though I'd ask. Thanks!!  |

Our batteries we use, don't have a memory . . . so your second option is the best choice boyofford, as it can also cause damage of you continually let them run flat as you've rightly said. |

As Perpetua says and do remember to attach to the charger BEFORE you power it up.  |

Only charge batteries when you are about to keep an eye on them!

I'm not sure it matters. In tests I've done it both ways and there was no difference in the performance or charging of the batteries down the line. Certainly a lot of debate about it hanging around though. Jag. (Just use and enjoy the damn things ....) |

I just go into panic mode if my single battery flashes orange so I tend to vape through permenantly (in the house) Thinking on, could that damage the battery?

No, it's only mechanical mods where you have to watch for over discharging. All electronic mods have circuitry that cuts them off before the output goes low enough to damage them. Even with mech mods I vape till they just stop working, and i've not damaged a battery yet in 3 years. |
