Hi Gang:

Is it just me, or does everyone have problems with their batteries? I’ve purchased many different brands from many manufacturers, and have yet to find good batteries. I must have at least 50 dead batteries in my Dedicated Dead Battery Bowl sitting on my desk. I don’t charge them until the 21 blinks; however, sometimes I forget and leave them in too long. When that happens, I know I can probably count on having another DOA on my hands.

My biggest complaint with all manufacturers is the life of the batteries. After many recharges, they don’t seem to hold a charge for very long, and sometimes they lose their strength, or they die without any possibility of resuscitation . At least that’s been my experience. I think Sedansa’s batteries have been the best so far, as far as good strength and number of recharges. Probably because I’m thinking their chargers work slowly (trickle-type), which lends to the life of the battery. (Just a lay opinion on my part.)

Also, if I charge it longer than necessary with a Sedansa battery charger, usually the battery is fine. I’ve been using the Sedansa charger for all of my batteries, and that seems to work better for me than using the other manufacturers’ supplied chargers.

When I have a weak battery from, say, Njoy, and I plug it into their supplied charger, it’ll automatically light up green. But if I take that same weak Njoy battery and plug it into a Sedansa charger, it’ll light up red and stay red for an hour or two. Then the battery is no longer weak.

I always unplug the charger from its electrical cord before I screw in the battery; then I plug in the power, which is what you’re supposed to do in order to avoid electrical surges and/or short-circuiting the battery.

Anyone experiencing the same problems with their batteries and chargers? Anyone have a suggestion on what I’m doing wrong or what I could do to improve the life of my batteries?

And does anyone know what the warranty is for batteries with Njoy and Sedansa, without my looking it up on their sites or e-mailing them to find out? Thanks for any feedback, help and/or suggestions you may want to share with me and others on this forum.

Oh, and I also clean the contacts of both the battery and the atomizer with a cotton cloth every time I charge them.|||Hmm. So you’re consistently doing the same thing, and consistently getting the same result? Maybe it’s your method? I don’t do any of thaat. I’m a bad battery user. I charge whenever. Not whenever they need it, just whenever. I screw em right in a hot charger. Clean them first? Honey it aint a date; no dinner, no shower, no lube or nuthin’. And in whichever brand’s charger is more convenient. I’ve got 7 of these things, I gave up caring which one "belonged" to which other one long ago. I’m like that cult leader in Texas. |||Ha! You crack me up. Very true about continuing to do the same things and getting the same results. I have a good dozen that are working great since I’ve been using just the Sedansa charger. However, I think possibly the e-dripping could be the culprit. Do you drip?|||How long on average are the batteries lasting you (their lifespan)? 3 months, or a little shorter, is quite normal for the current generation I’m afraid.
Also, depending on how much you are using them of course, you can see quite soon that they are allready getting less as to using-time. After about a month mine start delivering less…
I have a batch of batteries right now that are around the 3-month mark; and I’m happy if each of those batteries lasts an hour, maybe 1 1/2 hours, before having to load them again…

As to dripping: if you drip too much at one time into the atomizer then liquid could enter the battery and make the switch sticky (bad performance) or stuck (no performance; or permanent performance - both unusable of course).

Good news for you as Sedansa-user: have a look at their website. They just today introduced new batteries that are supposed to give a load of 8 hours. If true, then that sounds like ‘the next generation’ we are all waiting for.

Hope this helped a bit |||Hi Katink:

Your post helped a lot! Thank you for explaining/outlining your experience with these batteries, which mirror mine exactly. I don’t feel alone in the boat anymore. Time to buy more, I suppose.

Also, I really appreciate your letting me know about the new Sedansa battery. What wonderful news. I will go online and purchase a few today and let everyone know how well they work out for me if anyone is interested.

Again, thank you very much for your feedback and also for the head’s up on the Sedansa long-life battery.|||300 mah batteries being ask to delivery 1000 mah every time ones puffs is battery abuse in my book.. he he

which is why they dont last long.. my two mini cig batteries lasted a good five hours when new.. after a month daily use its done to one hour.. they lose their capacity pretty quick or to put it simply they wear out pretty quick..

having lots and cycling them around will mean each one will live longer and provide better service..

its the down side of trying to make everything smaller and more real cigarette like..

trog|||I’ve noticed there seem to be more supposed "long life" 8-12 hr batteries popping up on the internet. Has anyone found sources to buy these long lasting batteries? Just the battery. I’d like to get one, but don’t want to shell out 50 bucks for another e-cigarette charger, cartridge kit. I recently bought a regular replacement battery here http://www.ruyanhealth.com/index.php…index&cPath=76 and got it within one week, fast shipping from china, and it works great so far, in case anyone is looking for normal batteries or spare atomizers for their RN4081.|||I have been pretty rough with my batteries, charging them all up at the same time, attaching each to an e-cig, and then cycling through my e-cigs until all of them need their batteries recharged again.

Today I just purchased 8 new long-life batteries from Sedansa. I will see if that makes a difference. I know batteries have memories, so I never charge them until completely depleted or are so weak that I cannot get a decent draw from them. Hopefully these will last longer than their predecessors.

Also, I ordered two Janty K.I.S.S. Classics from Ruyan Xpress today. It sounds like this might be the route to go, if I understand the concept correctly, in that the battery component is separated from the atomizer electronics component in such a way that the e-liquid will no longer have access to the inner battery. We shall see . . . And I thought I was done trying out all there was out there.

Hey, does anyone know what happened to the large 50 ml bottles of e-liquid that e-cig.com used to sell? I don’t see it on their Web site anymore.||| |||Hi Michael:

Thanks so much for the information. Makes sense to me. I went ahead and ordered two 50 ml bottles from freesmoke; however, they are soooooooooooooooo expensive.Hello Marian, I was wondering if the quality of the e-liquid is better than the liquid contained in the cartridges. Because if it’s not then you can just order e-pipe cartridges and squeeze the liquid out using a syringe.

Michael C.Which does beg the question: Why are these little devices so expensive? Are they more complex than a calculator? A digital watch that keeps track of my exercise? A cell phone that can take video or still pictures, as well as voice or text? An MP3 player? All can be bought cheaper than a good e-cig, which probably costs .. $5 to manufacture in China.

I can only compare these to crude oil: It costs Saudi Arabia $5 a barrel to pump crude oil from the ground; it sells for $130 a barrel now. ’bout the same as e-cigs. But at least the crude oil always works!
