When choosing batteries for vaping equipment, it is important to look for high capacity, current rating, and voltage with a low operating temperature.  Vaping can be a very demanding activity on your batteries, especially if you are a cloud chaser or sub-ohm vaper, so it is important to use high-quality batteries that can work hard without overheating.

A good rechargeable battery like the BAK CNP will last for a year or two, so paying a little extra can be more than worth it in the long run.  The long lifespan is just part of what makes the BAK CNP so great for vapers.

Capacity:

The capacity of a battery is the energy storage capacity and is measured in milliamp/hours.  The higher the capacity, the more energy the battery can hold.  The BAK CNP has a capacity of 2500 mAh, which means 2500 milliamps of energy can be drawn from it in an hour.  The number of time batteries lasts between charging is affected by the battery’s efficiency and the demands of your vaping equipment, which can vary. But in general, the higher the capacity, the longer the battery will last while doing the same amount of work.

Current Rating:

The current rating of a battery measures the amount of energy that the battery can deliver without overheating.  The higher the current rating, the safer the battery will be to use.  However, the current rating has an impact on capacity.  Batteries with high capacity will suffer from lower current ratings.  This means we need to make compromises when choosing batteries for vaping, deciding between batteries that last longest and batteries that do not heat up too much.  Batteries with a high enough capacity to keep working all day and a current rating that will not impact your vaping are ideal.  The BAK CNP makes a great vaping battery because it is long-lasting but maintains a good temperature unless used on the most demanding of vaping equipment.  For safety, it is always best to adjust the current rating of your batteries to the demands of your equipment.

Voltage:

The voltage of a battery refers to the difference in electrical potential between the negative and positive terminals and affects the amount of work the battery can do as well as battery life.  Higher voltage means that the battery uses less current to do the same amount of work.  Batteries with higher voltage are better for vaping as they will have good capacity, current rating, and operating temperatures.

Operating Temperature:

The operating temperature of a battery tells us how hot the battery will get when it is in use.  If a battery gets too hot, it can damage the battery or even our vaping equipment.  Batteries that operate at low temperatures are safer, lasts longer, and are more comfortable to use.

Lifespan:

The lifespan of a rechargeable battery tells us how often it can be used and recharged before it needs replacing.  BAK CNP batteries have an excellent lifespan and still retain a high level of charge even toward the end of their life.  So, these batteries can still be used effectively until they need replacing unlike some which will have a very noticeable drop-off in charge as they get reused.
