I have had a Nitecore i2 charger for over a year. and day before yesterday one of my batteries would not charge all the way. The other one would the, they are Sony VTC fours and I went and bought two new ones today. But now I'm still having the same problem one of the new ones is not charging. I have swapped slots with the batteries but both of the slots is saying that one of the batteries is fully charged while the other slot is halfway charged. both slots are working but it is saying that one of the batteries is halfway charged for some reason. does anyone have any idea what this could be. keep in mind that this is with the two brand new batteries I bough today also.

is it same slot reading half charge or both slots reading half charge on same battery?
I had a light break on my i2 so it looked like it wasn't charged if you could check the charge with a multi meter if might help narrow down your problem. Once I realized my charger was still working I just charged my batteries together and when the bay with all lights says it fully charged the other bay is also.
Both slots read same thing with same battery. But one of the batteries that its saying is not charging is brand new just bought them today. And when I put both in when one said fully charged and the other was halfway charged I put them in my sigelei 150 what and said it was 82 percent power.
So if I'm hearing you right. With both batteries in the charger one battery says full and the other says it's only half charged. Then when you switch slots, each battery shows the same charge in the opposite slot now. If that's the case I'm thinking that one battery might have come somehow with a much lower charge than the other, or your mod in unevenly discharging your batteries. Run you sigelli until is says check battery and then measure he voltage of the batteries. I bet one is lower than the other. If that's not it I am at a loss. I just upgraded to a Nitecore D2 and love it and I just ordered an xtar vc2. Good luck
That's all good advice. Try cleaning the contacts. But if that doesn't work, I'd think about another charger. I suppose they wear out, too.
Yes that is exactly what's happening. Ive had my charger for close to a year and its worked great up until now
sometimes new batteries require a longer than normal charge time even tho they are "new".... when I got my VTC4's, it took several hours for them to come up to charge.... as compared to normal times for used batteries....
I would see if a vaping buddy of yours has a charger to test if yours is faulty...really hard to say what's happening.
There's a good idea. And get a multi meter and check the batt voltage independently of your charger.
hey guys I let them charge all night woke up at about 3 swapped the batteries to the other slots and went back to sleep woke up just a minute ago at about 8 and the same thing is still happening. And no I don't have any buddies with a nother charger but I might can see if my vape shop has one I could stick them on and come back a little while later and see if it's doing it still. thank y'all y'all have been a great help I really appreciate it
A vape shop is another good place. Also, take your charger over there and see what results they get? Seems with all the testing you've done, that the charger is finally proven faulty. Time to get a new Bluetooth 8 bay I think! Oh wait...that's me who wants one?!?!?!
