Battery 18650: Safety and Care

You can use these batteries with the Geekvape L200 Aegis Legend 2 Kit, the Oxva Origin 2 and many more. Just check the battery info in the descriptions on our site.

Here’s some essential information:

1. Types of Vape Batteries:
   • Internal Batteries: These are built into the vaping device and are not replaceable. Users typically charge the entire device when the battery is depleted. These are common in beginner-level devices and pod systems.
   • External Batteries: These are removable and rechargeable batteries. They are commonly found in more advanced vaping devices and mods. The most popular type of battery is the 18650, of which we offer several different versions including the Aspire 2900 and the Molicel P28A 18650.
2. Battery Safety:
   • Battery safety is paramount in vaping. Mishandling can lead to accidents, including fires or explosions. Users must take precautions such as using the correct charger, not overcharging, and not carrying loose batteries in pockets or bags.
   • Battery wraps and insulators should be checked regularly for any damage. Damaged batteries should not be used.
   • It’s crucial to use batteries from reputable manufacturers and only purchase from reliable sources.
3. Battery Life:
   • The battery life of a vaping device depends on several factors, including the battery’s capacity (measured in milliampere-hours or mAh), the device’s power settings, and how frequently it’s used. High wattage settings can drain batteries faster.
   • External batteries can be replaced or recharged, while internal batteries may have a limited lifespan and may need to be replaced or serviced by the manufacturer when they wear out.
4. Battery Capacity (mAh):
   • A higher mAh rating normally suggests a longer-lasting battery. However, it’s important to note that a higher-capacity battery may also be physically larger, so it might not fit in all vaping devices.
5. Battery Voltage:
   • Most vape batteries such as the battery 18650 operate at a nominal voltage of 3.7V.
6. Charging:
   • Vape batteries should never be charged with a smartphone or tablet charger. Overcharging can be dangerous even when you’re using a compatible device.
   • Many advanced vaping devices allow users to charge the batteries through a USB port. However, using an external charger is generally safer and more efficient.
7. Battery Care:
   • Keep batteries dry and away from extreme temperatures.
   • Store spare batteries in a protective case to prevent damage.
   • Clean battery contacts and terminals to ensure a good connection.
   • Safety and performance can be maintained by replacing old or damaged batteries.
8. Recycling and Disposal:
   • It’s important to properly dispose of old or damaged batteries. Many areas have recycling programs for batteries to minimise environmental impact.

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and safety guidelines when using vape batteries.
