5 Ways to Make Your Vape’s Battery Last Longer
Have you noticed that your battery isn't as durable as it used to be -- or is it just not as durable as you'd like it to be? If you're looking for ways to maximize battery life, we've got you covered. Read on to learn five tips for getting the longest possible battery life.
1. Turn off the device when not in use One of the easiest and most obvious ways to save battery life is to turn off the vape when you're done. If your device is an e-cigarette or vape mod that can be turned on and off, be sure to use this feature and turn it off when you are not using it. You might think that if you're not using your e-cigarette, it won't drain any power, but just turning it on will constantly drain your battery. Make it a habit to turn it off and you'll save a lot of battery life.
2. Use the battery regularly It might seem counterintuitive, but leaving e-cigarette batteries idle for extended periods of time can actually shorten their life. Similar to cell phone batteries, vaping batteries perform best when you use them every day, even for short periods of time. When your battery sits for a long time, it may lose some power. A little use every day will help maximize its lifespan and keep it running at its best.
3. Avoid battery overcharging It might be tempting to let the vape battery charge overnight - hook it up and forget it. However, while charging while you sleep is convenient, it can also shorten battery life. Fully charging the battery and then continuing to charge it for several hours may damage the battery. So your best bet is to charge the battery to 100% and then remove it from the charger.
4. Store the battery fully charged If you know you won't be using the battery for a while, be sure to fully charge it before storing it. If you don't, and you only partially charge the battery, it will slowly drain when you're not using it. When you use it again, it has to work harder to fully charge. This process shortens the life of the battery and can cause you to have to replace the battery as soon as possible.
5. Keep the battery clean Your vape battery can easily get dirty. You probably carry batteries around, put them in and out of your pocket, and occasionally spill e-liquid on them — so, naturally, they need regular cleaning. A dirty battery has a weaker connection to the device, forcing the battery to work harder to generate enough power. As mentioned earlier, having to work harder drains battery life faster. Keep your battery clean and you'll see a dramatic improvement in performance and lifespan over time.
