Disposable lighters cost a lot of money over time. Refillable lighters can be messy and both can harm the environment.
Arc Lighters are Eco-friendly, convenient and easy to use.
#1 benefit; there is no butane taste transfer or smell of butane when you use the lighter.

It is best to keep it above 50% charged. This should apply to all your USB devices.

How many years do lithium ion batteries last in an Arc Lighter?
If the voltage of a lithium-ion cell drops below a certain level, the battery is no longer good. Lithium-ion batteries drain, they only last about two years. The battery will not last longer when not in use. So do not avoid using the battery thinking the battery will last five years.
Do lithium ion batteries need to be fully charged before first use?
Li-ion batteries do not need to be fully charged before first use.
According to Battery University, a staggeringly exhaustive resource on the topic, a lithium-ion battery that goes through 100 percent DoD (the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles. With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs a lithium-ion battery in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remaining, that same battery could be charged up to 500 times before it starts to seriously degrade. It is the duty cycle that matters the most.
Lithium-ion batteries despise heat
What's far more dangerous to a battery's well-being is heat. Lithium-ion batteries despise heat.
Do not leave your lighter sitting in the sun.
Do not keep your battery completely discharged for long periods of time.
DO NOT over charge your battery.
DO NOT charge your lithium ion devices over night.
Can you use the arc lighters in cold weather?
