The battery of an electronic cigarette, like the device itself, deteriorates over time due to usage. However, some good practices can extend its overall lifespan. Let’s see what they are and how to implement them.
Characteristics of Electronic Cigarette Batteries
Most electronic cigarette batteries are rechargeable, but over time, they may lose effectiveness. Various technical features influence the battery’s lifespan, including amperage, mAh, and size.
Amperage and Battery mAh
Amperage and mAh are crucial indicators of battery lifespan and power. Higher amperage generally results in longer duration and prolonged usage of the electronic cigarette without draining it.
Battery Size
Battery size is indicated by the code; for example, an 18.650 battery has a diameter of 18 mm and a height of 650 mm. Larger batteries offer greater capacity and longevity.
Tips for Extending Battery Life
- First Use: Charge the battery to 100% without overcharging during initial use.
- Daily Use: Regularly use the battery to maintain high performance over time.
- Handle and Store with Care: Handle the battery gently and store it properly, avoiding damp places and heat sources.

Common Issues and Solutions
- Battery Door Not Closed Properly: Ensure that the battery door is properly closed to avoid operational issues.
- Short Battery Life: Avoid overcharging and turn off the electronic cigarette when not in use to preserve battery life.
- Types of Electronic Cigarette Batteries
- Lithium-ion batteries, particularly 18650 ones, are the most common and offer excellent performance in compact sizes. Be sure to consider size when choosing a battery.
By following these tips and practices, you can extend the lifespan of your electronic cigarette battery and maximize performance over time.
