Wondering what is better?? Fully cycle batteries or only use to a certain volts?? Currently i have been fully cycling but am i wrong to do so? Wondering what the masses are doing??
So that would be above nominal charge then - above 3.7v (of the batteries we generally use in the vape world) ?A charge cycle is not a full discharge/recharge . It is a discharge of any kind and recharge to any level. At least that was I was taught. Also on the battery's maker spec. sheet there is a lower level that will be recommended to not go below . If you can findout who realy made the battery . That can be a problem though . But in general it os not a good idea to go below 1/3 of the batterys rated capacity
Is this chart saying that the lower the battery's c rating, the less capacity it will lose over it's life of being recharged?
Well I have some lipos with c ratings of 60c. So they're not going to perform for very long if this is the caseLooks like it . But then it goes dead ?
Charging whilst vaping? Does anyone do that anymore? I'd do it on an ego once upon a time. Then I bought batteriesIt also looks like pass through charging is a real bad idea .
That's what I was asking and concerned about i.e. my high c rated lipos keeping their capacity the more cycles they receive. As for charging, I keep my ipad plugged in all the while I browse else it kills the battery. Np I guess. There's more at the shopyes, pass-through charging is not very good for a lithium battery. any application that drains the battery while the battery is charging is not optimum. this is why you wouldn't want to browse the internet for example while your phone/laptop is charging. in fact, its best to have the device completely powered off while charging.
… …
lastly, i dont believe that chart is showing different cells. it appears to me that the chart is testing the same cell at different discharge rates to show that the capacity diminishes with a heavier load.
Hey no that's fine. It'll still go a few hours or so. Just when I got it I'd get a day out off it. But yeah, I expect it really. It's like laptops. You use one for a year and only use the battery as an ups just in case. Then one day you use the battery for the first or second time and get 15 minutes out of it. Hey you know, there used to be a lot of websites promising to refresh your laptop batteries. But I don't see much of that anymore. I once had an hp which had a battery refresh function (many years ago now) but it never workedI understand, HobbyKid. please dont take this as a slight, but its likely the battery got compromised by charging while browsing and now you cant browse without charging. perhaps it was something else that compromised your battery, but the aformentioned situation is a likely culprit.
Apple is disrespectful of its customers for not allowing replacable batteries. if you ever wanted to start fresh and get a new battery, youd have to either tear apart your ipad or buy a new one. Apple is greedy imo. but i love their products lol!
