Battery Safety

Aeromistvape Battery Care and Safety Information

It is very important to look after the batteries you use for vaping - battery safety is paramount. Both built-in batteries and removable batteries must be treated with care to avoid unnecessary stress on your aeromistvape  batteries which can lead to problems such as overheating and in rare cases venting. aeromistvape batteries, like any rechargeable battery (e.g. mobile phones), will only have problems if they are not treated correctly. This is why it is important to purchase from a trusted United States retailer to ensure you have adequate information to use your gear correctly!

 

Aeromistvape with Internal/Built-In Batteries

 

Storage

Always leave your device in a safe place away from flammable materials. Do not leave your device in direct sunlight as this can lead to overheating.

Handling

Keep your device safe. Dropping your device can cause internal damage that can lead to venting. We recommend using a silicone sleeve with your device to minimise the possibility of damage.

Overcharging Reminder: We do not recommend leaving ANY electronic device on charge for an extended period of time. Taking your device off charge once it is full is the safest practice and we recommend taking this course of action.

Authenticity

Companies that produce counterfeit or "clone" products do not take appropriate safety precautions as there is no chance any faulty products can be traced back to the factory they were made in. This means that clone mods are likely to lack many safety features that authentic mods contain. VAPO strictly sells authentic products. We go out of our way to ensure that every item that is listed on our website is authentic.

 

Aeromistvape with External Batteries

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a serious risk of personal injury or property damage.

  • Always store batteries in a battery case.
  • Never expose batteries to heat or extreme temperatures.
  • Never use a battery, charger, or device that is not in perfect working order or has any signs of damage.
  • Only buy batteries from a known, trusted vendor of genuine batteries.
  • Look for safety specifications / warnings and use as prescribed by the manufacturer 
  • Always follow safety guidelines, stringently.

Storage

  • Keep lithium-ion batteries well out of reach of children.
  • Do not put loose batteries in pockets or bags where they can short circuit.
  • Do not store or transport batteries where they can come into contact with sharp or metallic objects.
  • Do not store your lithium-ion batteries in extreme temperatures, i.e., below 0 degree C or above 50 degree C.
  • Do not store batteries in a vehicle.

Handling

  • Do not immerse batteries in water or allow the battery to get wet.
  • Do not dispose of batteries in fire or heat.

  • Overcharging Reminder: We do not recommend leaving ANY electronic device on charge for an extended period of time. Taking your device off charge once it is full is the safest practice and we recommend taking this course of action.

    Disposing

    • Never throw your battery in the trash! Please recycle it or take it to a hazardous waste disposal site.
    • Many electronics or home improvement stores and Aeromistvape shops will accept your batteries for recycling.

    Battery Care Guidelines

    Use Batteries in Pairs
    Batteries should always remain in pairs. Therefore if the device is a dual-battery device, there should be a pair of batteries that are always used together - not 3 batteries alternating.

    Replacing A Lithium Battery
    It is time to replace your battery when you experience any one of the following indicators: physical damage, dents or deep scrapes, leaking fluid or an unusual smell, rust / rust spots, swelling or changes to shape, earlier and more frequent “low battery” alerts, battery warming up during charging, noticeable decline in vapour intensity and length before needing to recharge, if the battery discharges below 2.0V for a long period of time or if your charger will no longer reach 4.20V before stopping.

    Charge Your Batteries Safely
    Some devices offer on-board charging meaning you can charge the batteries within the device itself. Check to see if your device offers this as some devices have USB inputs purely for firmware updates only, not charging. Attempting to charge through firmware update ports can damage your device. We highly recommend purchasing an external battery charger regardless of whether your device can be charged internally. A dedicated battery charge is not only safer and more convenient but it also extends the life of both your batteries and your device by putting less stress on them.

    Check Batteries for Damage Regularly
    Your batteries must be kept in perfect condition. Any battery that has damage to the body itself (dents, scratches, marks on the metal) should be safely disposed or replaced.

    Batteries always have a wrap on them. An unwrapped battery will be silver in colour (metal) and is extremely dangerous - a battery should never be used if it does not have a wrap on it. Battery wraps are there to protect the battery from short-circuiting. The battery wrap should always be free of damage. Any small nick, mark or scratch on the battery wrap means you should no longer continue to use this and the wrap should be replaced. It is extremely important to keep the isolator ring on the positive end (usually a little black or white O-ring that goes on the top of the battery).

    Use A Battery Case
    If you are travelling with your batteries we highly recommend using a battery case to keep your batteries safe. The worst possible thing is to put loose batteries in you pocket with things like keys which, if angled in the wrong position, can cause your battery to short and potentially vent in your pocket! Battery cases ensure your batteries are held in a position where they are safe.

    Buy Quality Batteries
    Be aware of counterfeit batteries. Look out for brands such as SONY (VTC range), Samsung and LG as these are reputable brands and their batteries are great. Efest is a brand to watch out for as they often overstate the capacity and/or amps on the outside of the battery. We stock Molicel batteries as we have ensured these are safe to use in the mods we stock. Treat any unknown brand or any battery with unusually high capacity/amps with caution as it is likely they are poor quality and/or have been intentionally mislabelled.
