Regulated Mods/ Recharging Batteries

[TastersChoice]

How low do you let your battery drain before recharging?


I have a series mod and I normally wait until they're at about 10% then rotate the batteries after each charge.
However lately I've been waiting for my batteries to hit 60% to rotate them and wait for them to hit 20%
before charging them all over again. I've noticed it's much more accurate at fully charging both
batteries with them being only a few minutes apart from each other.

Personally, I prefer charging the batteries when they are down to 20%. It's a habit, due to my other hobby (flying RC Collective Pitch Helicopters). They use LiPo batteries though. However, it is better for their lifespan, not to go below 20%.

Don't take them below 3.2v.

I usually take them out at around 3.4-3.5 volts or so

Same here man. I still have 18650s that I used when mechs were only available.

talk about battery life.
before I'd wait until they hit 3.2V but I've become a bit more patient over the last 2 months
