TIPS TO KEEP YOUR BATTERY FUNCTIONING PROPERLY
Just like any other electronic device, your vaping batteries and mods have a shelf life. Though there’s no specific amount of time a battery will last, it’s important to remember that vape batteries are disposable. I don’t mean they are a one-time-use by any means. I’m just saying that they will wear out as you use them and over time will need to be replaced. That being said, if you treat them well and maintain them, their longevity will be extended. Below are tips to keep your battery functioning properly.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE TEMPERATURE
With summer upon us, we are seeing an increase in the temperature. We get into our cars and it feels as if it is 400 degrees. Most vapers overlook the effects higher temperatures have on batteries and vaping devices in general. Take care to not leave your vaping device in your car or sitting out in the sun. Overheating not only ruins the taste of your e-liquid, it can also cause serious damage to your device as well. When a lithium-ion battery reaches 120F, its inner workings begin to break down, and could explode.
TAKE CARE WHEN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY
When charging your battery, an electric current is cycling through your device. The longer you leave the battery on the charger, the warmer the battery can become. This is a large reason why you should limit the amount of time you leave your battery on its charger. Also, over-charging can cause it to malfunction or stop working completely. Bottom line, you should never leave your battery on the charger unattended or for an extended amount of time.
BE CAREFUL WHEN STORING
When you aren’t using your batteries, always store them in a cool dry place. Sitting in the heat can play a factor, as well as any dampness. If you’re bringing them on-the-go, take care to put them in a travel-safe container. Dropping or allowing them to bang around in a pocket or purse can be detrimental to the batteries. It can cause them to malfunction or stop working completely. And in extremely rare cases, trauma to the battery can cause them to short out or catch fire.
CONCLUSION
When following these tips to keep your battery functioning properly, you are ensuring the longevity of your batteries.
