Hi, I'm new here and have searched but couldn't find an answer so help appreciated. When charging my MVP4 no matter what the state of charge when I put it on charge the button shows RED. It stays RED and as the charge builds turns GREEN and then goes out when full. I.e. It never goes through AMBER which all my previous batteries have. Is this normal?
I just got an istick 30w the other day from a local tobacco store. I bought an istick 30w for $45 which isn't too bad, I'm having problems with it not charging to full. I am using a 1a rated charger and it is supposed to charge to full in exactly 2.5 hours with a dead battery. I cannot get it to charge above about 75-80%, no matter what I do. As of now it's been on the charger for 2 hours and 38 minutes and is at about 80%, and is showing no sign of continuing to charge.
When I leave the device on overnight, I will wake up and it will be at around 65%, and it would have just stopped charging. I don't understand.
Hi Guys,
So I originally had a nitecore i8 charger that I used to charge 8 x 18650 batteries. After using it for a few days I started noticing that it made a weird ticking noise and got VERY hot on the bottom. Needless to say this made me quite uncomfortable.
So I exchanged it for a Xtar VC8. So far it’s been amazing. No ticking or weird noises and it doesn’t get hot. It also comes with a nice screen that shows you some details about your batteries. This is what leads me to my question.
I noticed when charging my batteries most of them show as roughly 3.7v but others show as 4.1v. Also the longer they charge the higher the number goes. Is this normal? Sorry I’m a total idiot when it comes to batteries and voltages etc. If anyone could clue me in i would be very great full!
Thanks
I am trying to charge it, but all in vain, it isn't charging. I tried about 4 different USB's. None of those I tried worked. It is charging the Stick, that's it.
If anybody knows what to do let me know.
I have a variable voltage/wattage battery and I have heard that some say charge it as often as you can this reduces stress, others say that's bad, some say a combination of long and short cycles but I don't know which is best. My battery's manual said get down to 10% but it doesn't measure it accurately (but I love these batteries so I don't want to change but they are expensive so I want to prolong their life span as long as possible even if that does mean charging them very often.) I do have two so charging often isn't an inconvenience for me if that's what I am supposed to do.
I charge it over night so it has a full battery in the morning. Then i will charge it again later on in the day for about an hour or 2. It it ok to just charge it for short periods of time like this?
i have a new Itaste VV4 15 watt 1000mah
I don't seem to get as much time out of my battery as i expected- does anyone know about how long it should last?
I'm going to test it out to see exactly how much time i get out of a full charge but as of right now i just feel like it's not lasting as long as it should.
Also when I use it plugged up on a charging cord the battery still runs out till it eventually has no charge and turns off and cant be used till it adds up some charge on it- I thought since it was a pass through device i would still be able to continue to use it while being plugged up on the charger, so im not sure if I should actually be able to with this device and mine is not working correctly or thats just how this unit does work.
I have an orbit cannon vape pen. I believe it's 510 style.
I bought it 5 months ago. I just got around to using it. You press the button 5 times, and it turns on, press it 5 more times and it shuts off. The light also indicates the battery voltage. It turns white when fully charged, and then blue, and then red when it's almost dead. There is also a light on the charger that is red while it's charging and then it's supposed to turn green when it's done charging.
Well, the e cig battery light stays white for a short while, and then turns blue. It used to stay white longer. It's like after a short bit of usage, it goes blue. The red light on the charger also never turns green no matter how long it stays plugged in.
The e cig stayed in the box, and the battery was depleted. I picked it up a few days ago and put it on the charger to start using it and noticed this.
Does it sound like the battery is messed up? Last night I charged it 3 hours and the red light on the charger never turned green so I unplugged it. The light on the battery was white. Today I went to use it, and the light was blue - I never used it and the e cig itself was turned off.
Hi
I'm using Samsung 21700 T40 batteries.
Trying to figure out..
Is it best to charge a battery when it's discharged or nearly discharged?
I like to keep things simple with a routine of charging once a day, but then the battery will be set to charge even when there's 15-30% power left.
Is that bad for the battery?
Can I use an external battery pack to charge an IPV Mini?
I have a 10,000mAh external battery to charge my cell phone (Note 4, with a 3500mAh battery), which has 2 options for charging: 1.5v=1A and 2.5v=2.1A.
Is it recommended? Is it safe? Are there any precautions I need to take if I use the battery pack?
I haven't gotten around to getting an extra 18650 battery (and charger) for the IPV Mini. I've finally realized that it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge the battery via the USB cable. But the one battery doesn't quite last me all day, depending on how heavy I'm using the Mini.
I usually carry a Volcano Inferno once the Mini dies, but the Volcano really sucks in comparison to the Mini. I'd love to be able to charge the Mini while I'm out and about.
I've added a pic of the external battery for specific information.
Thanks for all your help.
Is it safe to use the vaporesso revenger (built in batteries) and the vaporesso revenger mini (lights up) after owing it for three years? It seems to have kept 3/4 battery charge and I have not used them in a year and a half. I ask because I’ve read older batteries can be dangerous to use if they have low voltage or something.
Also is it safe to use Sony lithium ion batteries after 2 1/2 years? Their volts was at 3.6 when I started charging them. I haven’t used them in a year and a half, but I did charge them once during the year. Using them in arrow sense mod.
