ripple Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 So I have my eGo for just under 2 months now. I have one battery that is starting to worry me. I feel like the battery dies much quicker than the other, it occasionally works inconsistently. One minute it works, then the next not so much, then i jiggle the atty a bit and it works again. Are these the warning signs of a battery thats about to crap out on me? If so, is two months a realistic time for this? thanks
Christopher Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 It's a little soon but not unusual. Lithium Ion batteries are good for about 200-300 charges, so it depends on how often you use that battery. Normally a good sign is when you take a fully charged battery and it doesn't give that good hit your used to. Usually a sign the voltage is dropping off much faster. I would suggest probably picking up a new battery. Maybe even a mega battery.
ripple Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 Well thats kind of whats happening. I wouldnt think I have hit the 300 charges, normally each one is charged once a day. I think when it comes off the charger I will hit it with the volt meter to see what I see. So since you replied Chris, what was/is the warranty on there (yep I got it from you). I do have a mod on the way but I might just pick up a pass through since so much of my daily vaping is here in the home office with 2 puters running all day.
Christopher Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 We don't warranty against general wear and tear which sounds like what it is. But if you'd like to fill out a warrenty claim you are welome to in the support system

But if you'd like to fill out a warrenty claim you are welome to in the support system Naw, I won't waste your time or mine.....I guess I only asked since I took the time to figure out my total spend in vaping since the beginning of the year this morning - OUCH.
Christopher Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Yea sticking to the basics helps save a little. If you want to send over your information I'd be more than happy to replace the battery
easilyamused Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 whice makes me wonder, as ive been using the passthrough almost exclusively now just how long one of those lasts... i suppose i should use my regular batteries more often lol
Christopher Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I wouldn't worry about that to much. But if the red light on your PT goes out, unplug it as there isn't much reason to keep it plugged in honestly. The nice thing about the PT is that when the battery does die out, you can plug up and vape without having to wait for the charge.
Kingbtheone Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 i had bad issues with ego batterys, ( ego and riva) i went a step up and bought a Screwdriver mk2 3.7v ($80), uses replaceable batterys similar to the cr123's but protected. $9 to replace vs $20-$25 for ego's, and i have used mine daily for 3+ months no issues. if i didnt buy a PT when i first got my ego, i wouldn't of been able to quit the analogs with battery problems i had.... after a couple months you will get in a groove and tell when they need charged by the vapor and throat hit it produces.
easilyamused Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ive had no batter issues as yet, but since i got the passthrough i put the eGo batteries away for spares lol... well, if anything were to happen to the passthrough id be set until i could get another one
