How Long Will My Battery Last Before Replacement Is Needed?

How often you change the battery in your vaping device depends on a lot of factors. Hopefully, the following tips and suggestions can be of some help to answer the burning question: “How long will the battery in my vaping device last, before I need to replace it?”

There’s No Battery ‘Lifespan’

There’s really no set schedule when it comes to replacing the battery in your vaping device. You might have to replace your batteries every couple of months if you use them at high power levels. On the other hand, you might get a couple of years out of your batteries if you vape at a lower power level, and vape infrequently!

8 Reasons to Replace Vape Battery:

1. Batteries Dropped Below 2.0 V

If, for a long period of time, your battery is discharged to below 2.0 V, your battery will burn out faster. Shorter periods of being below 2.0 V are usually fine. If a battery has dropped below 2.0 V and it was unused for a long period of time, you’ll want to replace it.

2. Rusted Batteries

Rusted batteries should be replaced! A couple of little spots probably aren’t a problem, but once they start growing larger or pushing up the wrap, it’s time to replace the battery. This can become dangerous, and actually damage your vape device itself.

3. Leaking Batteries

If a battery leaks fluid or vents, even the tiniest bit, change the battery. Using a battery like that can cause overheating; and overheating can lead to bursting or thermal runaway. Nobody needs that.

4. Damaged Batteries

If you detect physical damage to the can or the metal top of a battery, change it. Don’t ignore things like deep scrapes and dents (You don’t necessarily need to replace the battery if you can replace the top insulator ring or a damaged wrap).

If you drop a battery, and there is no obvious physical damage, it is relatively safe to assume that the battery does not need to be discarded or changed out.

5. Charger Isn’t Performing

If, before stopping, your vaping battery charger doesn’t get to 4.20 V anymore, the battery probably needs replacing. Of course, you want to make sure that you have a properly functioning charger first. Before replacing the battery, try switching charger bays.

6. Unusually Warm Batteries

If you haven’t changed your coil resistance or your power settings, but your battery starts getting particularly hot during charging or during use, it’s a good idea to change out the battery.

7. Vape Giving Shorter Hits

If, before needing to recharge your batteries, you’re noticing that your unregulated/mechanical mod isn’t hitting for as long or as hard as it used to, a battery change is probably a good idea.

8. Low Battery Alert

Some devices are equipped with low battery alerts; a much sought-after perk among vaping devices. If, even though you haven’t increased the power, low battery alerts start showing up more frequently and earlier from your regulated mod, it is likely time to consider a new battery. This is a pretty common sign that your battery is getting to the end of it’s life.

 

As an added note; Please remember the following: batteries should never be thrown in the trash. Rather; Recycle your old batteries! There are any number of home improvement or electronics stores (and some vape shops) that will take your batteries for the purpose of recycling. For safety’s sake, to insulate the battery from touching any metal during transport, wrap it a couple of times in an appropriate insulating tape.
