Viper Ron Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey gang, does the cold weather effect the life of the eGo Batts in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Good question.... I await the answer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Cold weather affects all batteries from what I understand. I don't know how they're affected though, whether it be in output or duration or what. I'm interested in answer too. So far, I've only found this: http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/battery.asp (there's a Q/A from duracell and energizer if you scroll down a bit.)

Viper Ron Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks for the link Uma, kinda makes since that it would effect it in some way! I guess I should of stated in the post that my wife left her spare batt in the car and she told me it was fully charged and when she needed it it lasted like only 2 hours? Seems strange to me but that's what she's saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsune Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Mind you, This is only personal experience and not very scientific. I have left batteries in my Jeep many times over night in temps up to(or down to) below zero(occasionally colorado gets that cold) and When used while it was cold, the charge did seem to be quite a bit less than normal, but once I recharged them and had them back to a more reasonable temp, they seemed to work fine. On the other hand, I have had the heat in Arizona kill a battery...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Ron Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yes Kitsune that seems to be the case with my wife's batt a new charge and all is good but thought I'd bring it up seeing the batt is a brand new one not even a month old! Well I guess the bottom line is not to keep them in the cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The cold will slow down the chemical reaction that makes the electrons flow.But if you have it in your pocket and take it out to use it should not make any difference.Just if you leave it out in the cold Jeep or whatnot.

Strykker118A Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah Id say it would affect the ecig batteries just as a cars battery can be affected in cold environments. Makes sense to me. Christopher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I left a fully charged eGo battery in my car over night and it was completely dead the next day. It was during the winter months and very cold that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I tend to notice the batteries take a bit more beating in cold wether. While I was out in Colorado visiting Bird I noticed my batteries didn't last quite as long. Though nothing dramatic. I assume, like as been mentioned above, it's silmiar to a car battery. You need more amp to crank the motor in the cold. I'm not sure why honestly, but maybe it's related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
