Charger question

[Erica]

I noticed that whenever I charge one of my batteries the light on the charger turns red, but when I charge the other one the red light flickers. Does anyone know why it is doing that, or if it is affecting the battery?
It may just be in my head, but the one that turns red does seem to out perform the one that is flashing.

The LED in the charger is a "BI" colored LED as the current draw decreases the battery goes from green to red - It kinda flickers or turns a funky orange color thru the whole process -
Are you completely discharging the battery that is flickering before it goes to the charger? If not it will flicker because it is not needing the full current as with a completely discharged battery.

I don't put it on the charger until it's completely dead, and it happens everytime. It doesn't seem to be a problem really, but weird nonetheless.

Might be a problem with the computer chip or a component in the battery giving you a FALSE reading that the battery is dead - You may want to return it - or vape through the low battery warning until it wont flash any more and then charge it. Is it giving you the same amount of vaping time as the other - If so you may not have anything to worry about.

hmmm I have two 901 chargers and they both flicker when charging. My penstyle chargers don't flicker at all. Are your chargers for the 901?

[Erica]

Yes...it's a 901 battery and charger. Ironically it didn't happen this last time I charged it, so who knows? Oh well...I'll wait and see if it happens again. Thanks for the advice Maddog!...I'll keep it in mind if it starts up again.

I am using a Super-Mini and the battery screws into the charger. Presuming yours works in the same way simply try not screwing the battery into the charger too tight.

I have the standard 2 batteries with mine, and one of them charges fine no matter how hard I screw it in to the charger. Solid red light and then to green at the end.

With my second battery if I screw it in tightly I get the same flickering light you mention, and it goes to green far too quickly to be fully charged. I found that by simply not screwing it all the way in, and leaving half a turn or so from being tight, I get a standard solid red light and the battery charges fine every time. Try that, it may help

I bought my 901 from puresmoker and there he has an instructional video on what to do when you get your first kit. In the video he said that there are issues with the lights on the chargers and they can't be relied on. He says no matter what lights you see on the charger, the initial charge should be no less than eight hours, and every charge after that should be no less then four. That's what ive been going by and it's worked fine for me hope that helps

I should add my charger shows all kind off different lights as well then goes green after about an hour which I know isn't right.

Just got my 901 from puresmoker today. I plugged in the battery charger but the light is not lighting up – no red or green light, no flashing or nothing, so I expect its defective? I've sent Steve an email, hopefully he will respond soon.
