Electronic Cigarettes (E-Cigs, ecigs) are powered by Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries which are basically disposable.  These batteries are rechargeable in a range of 300-500 times before becoming useless.  If you charge your e-cig batteries once a day, you should in effect get approximately 9-12 months of use before the battery will not hold a charge any longer.

One problem that can arise with e-cig batteries is that their is a switch located on the threaded end of most types.  This switch can become clogged or stuck which can also lead to a bad battery, and is usually what destroys the battery eventually.  If it wasn’t for the switch, there would be no reason not to get almost a year of performance out of the e-cig batteries, but due to the switch mechanism, you will more likely see a 3-6 month life span for all electronic cigarette batteries.
