RIP my first TW tornado eGo passthrough

[RichJr]

And my first booster last week.

First passthrough fully charged and it's very weak compared to my other batteries. Capacity shot, battery not worthy anymore. sad day indeed.

Over a year old and boosted more than half it's life. Over 300 charges easy and it's just getting noticeable. It's a very worn and abused battery. Served me well. RIP

damn rich i know you have many to take its place but it is a sad day when one dies. It sounds like it has served you well. Whats your plans for it? will it be kept just to use through usb or you giving it retirement

[RichJr]

Even while it's fully charged and connected via USB it's very weak. It's damaged and on its way to the bin. I just can't seem to drop it in! I've held it over the bin many times and it still lands on the counter.....

Sounds like you might need to make it modding fodder ...

Yank out the battery core and replace with a controlled drain capacitor circuit .. keep it as a true USB device ..

Nooo you'll be butchering it! Get a frame or mini trophy cabinet and put it the most prominent place in your house.
(Just my 2 cents).

I like that idea!

sorry to hear about that Rich.  i have had similar experiences with various devices.  it's hard to let go.  i feel as though someone should be playing Taps during the disposal procedure.  seriously.  but we have to move on as we knew in the beginning that this configuration is one of a limited duration.  but still it's never easy.

  sorry for your loss... (+1 Casey, mod it!)
