If you have been enjoying your vaping experience for some time or are just getting started, it is important to keep yourself and others safe. If you do not charge your battery correctly, you could shorten its life and put yourself in danger. Read on to find out more about vaping battery safety and charging as well as ongoing maintenance.
Charging your vaping battery
It is vital that you only charge your battery with the right kind of charging cable. If you have a USB charging cable with a 4.2v output, you should only use it with a USB port or USB wall adaptor that has been specifically designed for your device.

How will I know if I have a proper connection?
In most cases, you will see a flashing light when you first connect your device. This tells you that you have a quality connection. Many devices display red lights when they are charging and green when they are completely charged. It normally takes around three to four hours to charge vaping batteries fully. If you have a larger battery, it may take longer to charge.
When should I charge my battery?
You are advised to only charge your battery once it has run out of power. Top-up charges can cause problems with the efficiency of your battery. Once your battery runs out, you will normally see a flashing light that indicates you have run out of power.
Are all models compatible with USB cables?
No. Some older models cannot be used with USB charge cables. This means they normally need to be used with the charger that they came with.
What are the risks of poor battery management?
If you do not handle your battery or charger with care, there is a risk of fire. In most cases, you will be held solely responsible for any accident, injury or damage that occurs due to your use of your battery or charger.
How can I care for my battery and charger properly?
There are several steps you need to take to avoid problems with your battery and charger. You should always store your batteries and chargers in a cool, dry space, at typical room temperature. This means you should not leave them exposed to direct sunlight or in hot environments. You will also need to keep your battery and charger away from flammable liquids and objects, alongside mobile phones, and other electrical equipment.
Never leave a battery charging for more than four hours as it could get too hot. This means you should not leave your battery on charge overnight whilst you sleep. Your battery should also be kept away from microwaves and moisture. Modifying and dissembling your battery can also be extremely dangerous. Disconnect your battery from the charger whenever you are not using it and turn off your battery when you are no longer vaping. When your battery is turned on, do not carry it in your pocket or bag.
More battery safety tips
Special fire-safe charging bags are available for storing your batteries and chargers safely. If your battery appears to be rusting, discoloured, or leaking, you should stop using it immediately. You should also refrain from using it if it is emitting a strange smell or has come out of shape. If the wrap or plastic sleeve that your battery came in is damaged, you should stop using it. Your chargers and batteries also need to be kept away from pets and children. Your battery and charger should only be used for the purpose they were designed for.
How can I dispose of an old battery or charger?
If you need to dispose of a battery or charger but are not sure how to do it legally, look at your local authority’s waste disposal guidelines. You should be able to find these on their website.
