Great. Thanks a lot Guys.
So roughly around 1 year after purchase change the batteries.

or if you buy several and rotate them they last even longer. but usually when they dont hold up anymore. i have a couple well over a year now but i have like 8 batteries.
I use the eGo 1000 mah, and I have 3 of them that I rotate. I've had 2 of them for over 8 months now, and one I got about a month ago. I have noticed that one of the older ones doesn't hold a charge as long as it used to, but it still holds for over 6 hours. If you have a few that you rotate out, they can last a long time - doesn't matter the type, IMO.
I never replaced batteries, I just kept buying new and better ones ! 
This time though, I have some pretty good ones that I will use until the end, bought 2 CGR18650CH (Lithium @ 2250 mAh) the 3rd of July 2012 and 4 more the 5th of December 2012, all six are still performing top notch!

They'll last about 300+ recharges BUT performance will suffer as time goes on, "sometimes" after about 200+ recharges. With very little or no use they normally lose about 10% every year. Heat, overcharging and high discharge will also contribute to a shorter lifespan. I number all my batteries and use them in rotation so that they're all evenly discharged.
When you notice the batts are needing recharge more often it's time to consider new ones IMO.

Nice info to know. It still beats paying for cancer sticks. Just look at it as an investment in the longrun you are still saving money. Unless you were never a smoker then i dont know what to tell you hahaha
Every day, sometimes twice a day.
Thank goodness they are rechargeable.
Seriously, I haven't had to replace any of mine in the 11 months I've been vaping. Although I do have an ego 350 starting to get a bit anemic.

Replace means you toss out the battery because it isn't recharging well enough to keep using it.
I used ICR batteries for about six months before it was time to replace them. At that point they returned 50% or so of the charge capacity they were rated with as new.
IMR batteries. Well, I haven't use them long enough to tell. Maybe they will be useful after six months. Maybe not. Time will tell.
