Battery Guide and Safety: Everything You Want to Know

Common Vape Battery Types

• 18650 Batteries: The most widely used battery for vape devices. Known for a balance of power and portability, with capacities ranging from 1800 mAh to 3500 mAh and discharge rates between 10A and 30A.
• 21700 Batteries: Larger than 18650s, offering higher capacities (3000–5000 mAh) and discharge rates of 20A–40A. Ideal for high-wattage devices requiring extended battery life.
• 20700 Batteries: Mid-sized batteries with capacities between 3000 mAh and 4000 mAh, and discharge rates of 20A–35A. Great for moderate to high-power vape mods.

Charging Tips

• Use Quality Chargers: Always use a charger designed for vape batteries to avoid overcharging or damage.
• Avoid Overcharging: Remove batteries from the charger once fully charged to extend their lifespan.
• Slow Charging Preferred: Opt for slower charging speeds, which are safer and preserve battery health compared to quick charge options.

Storage and Handling

• Use Protective Cases: Store batteries in cases to prevent contact with metals, which can cause short circuits.
• Avoid Heat and Sunlight: Keep batteries in a cool, dark place to prevent overheating or degradation.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for tears, dents, or other signs of damage. Damaged batteries should be safely recycled and replaced.

Battery Safety Tips

• Understand Amp Limits: Ensure your device does not exceed the maximum discharge rate of your battery.
• Prevent Overheating: If a battery becomes hot during use, stop immediately and inspect for damage.
• Rewrap Damaged Batteries: If the protective wrap is torn, rewrap the battery or replace it to avoid exposure to metal.
• Don’t Mix Batteries: Use identical batteries (same brand and model) in multi-battery devices to ensure balanced performance.
• Handle with Care: Avoid dropping batteries or exposing them to physical shock, as this can compromise their safety.
