Quick Battery Question.

H4X0R46 · Jun 24, 2017

Hey guys! Got another quick one for you. So, I always drain my 18650s no lower than 3.7V - 3.6V. Is there any harm in draining them lower to say...... 3.4V or so? Just wanna make sure it's perfectly not harmful to the cells in any way. Going camping for one night in the morning and had no time to charge these batteries, so I'm gonna have to take them as is. Thanks guys!

why stress the cells to the possible point of failure?

I agree with you in every way, just that I didn't have time to charge them this time around :/ gotta literally be up and ready in a few hours. My batteries usually last 3 or even 4 days vaping the way I do before they reach 3.7V and they're at 3.8V at the moment. They'd probably be down to about 3.5V or 3.4V by the time I get back.

EDIT: Suppose I COULD charge them while I sleep, but I never was comfortable doing that.

I have my charge on a safety outlet. not enough hours in a day to babysit it with a triple battery mod and my dual mod battery rotation.

Yeah I'm really not a fan of overnight charging, but I may just have to, I have a good charger that never gave me problems, an Efest LUC BLU6. You think it's alright to charge em overnight?

should not have an issue with it.
Luc6 none Bluetooth here and it is always charging something.

Alright, thanks man! I just said hell with it and put em on the charger, set an alarm to get me up in a couple hours to remove em, and then back to bed. It's dumb, but ya know, paranoia lol Thanks man! Appreciate it!

you also if it is a luc6 have a 2 amp option that will quick charge em.

No, there's no harm. Because you're vaping at such a low wattage you can in fact go down to 3.0 volts... you're not really stressing the battery despite that on a regulated mod amps go up as volts go down.
