Batteries and Chargers

Many vape mods are powered by removable batteries (cells). These are usually additional purchases and so enable you to choose the nature of the cells that you use. At TMB Notes, we offer a comprehensive range of rechargeable batteries which are suitable and safe for use in conjunction with electronic cigarettes. We showcase IJoy, Samsung, LG, and Sony batteries plus more together with chargers from the impressive Nitcore, Hohm, and Efest ranges.

The advantages of removable batteries

Integrated batteries are the hassle-free choice and devices with internal batteries tend to be cheaper to purchase. But there are several advantages to removable batteries that are worth considering before choosing your box mod or full kit.

Removable batteries save you money

When an integrated battery gives up the ghost, you will need to replace the entire device. But when removable batteries come to the end of their useful lives, you simply invest in new ones and can continue to use your treasured mod, vape pen, or pod system. While devices powered by removable batteries tend to be more costly investments initially, over the longer term, they will save you money as they won’t need to be replaced so often.

Choosing the Right Charger

Choosing the right charger is crucial to ensure the safety and performance of your removable batteries. At TMB Notes, we offer a selection of reliable chargers from top brands such as Nitcore, Hohm, and Efest. It's important to use chargers that are compatible with your specific battery type and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging.

How to maximise your battery life

It makes sense to do everything you can to maximise the life of your batteries. Here’s our top tips for taking care of your cells:

1. Fully charge your battery when you receive it as this will condition the battery.
2. Store batteries in a cool, dark place when not in use.
3. Ensure that any batteries you are storing are at least 40% charged. This facilitates some discharge and ensures that protection circuits continue to function.
4. Use your batteries regularly as they are designed for frequent use.
5. Charge your vape batteries before they are fully drained as this placed less stress on the battery.
6. Turn off your device when you are not using it to prevent accidental firing.
7. Keep batteries out of direct sunlight and shielded from high temperatures. If batteries get too hot, their lifespan will be reduced.
8. Use a case to protect spare batteries when you are out and about. If a battery touches metal, it can cause a short.

Battery Safety

Lithium-ion batteries produce plenty of oomph for their size. These diminutive powerhouses contain flammable and volatile chemicals which can cause the batteries to explode. Explosive incidents are now very rare and those that do occur are usually the result of user error. Here’s how to improve battery safety:

1. Don’t mix and match batteries. If your device requires two or more batteries, install identical batteries. Don’t mix new batteries with older ones.
2. Choose the right charger. If your battery is not supplied with a compatible charger, check the product specifications to ensure that a charger has an appropriate voltage output.
3. Don’t leave batteries on charge overnight or when you are not at home.
4. Charge your battery on a non-flammable surface.
5. Carry spare batteries in a plastic case to prevent them contacting metal.
6. Don’t attempt to use a battery that has been exposed to water.
7. Don’t borrow batteries from anyone.
8. If you have any concerns about your vape batteries, don’t use them.
