Hey guys.
I dont want to kindap this thread and I didnt find any rule against it, but my apologies, if it is against any rule.
I have kinda similar questions with similar topic, so I have to try it here.
Few days ago, I´ve bought RX200S. Great mod and such, but there is few things I want to know for sure.
1) Is it really that dangerous to charge batteries via usb connector?
Im doing this but... Just to point one of those batteries get to 4v. Than Im switching batteries to external charger. But I dont have any charger that can charge more than one battery, so Im using HD-3013 charger, which is obviously cheap but my first one. This is for one battery.
Second battery is charging in LiitoKala lii - 100 Smart Universal Battery Charger, which is maybe little bit better than HD-3013 but not that better.
Third battery... Is charger via usb port in kbox mini (or istick pico). I just dont have any other 18650 charger and dont want to wait too long. Well, Im fine with 500mA chargin, which should be healthier for batteries.
I should not probably charge batteries in RX200S and probably will not do it again.
2) Even when all batteries are charged this way to 4.2v, they are discharged unballanced. I mean, one is 3,96v, another 4,00v and another 3,8v, for example. What does it means? Does it means that RX200S discharging batteries badly OR those batteries are bad for RX200S as married?
They are all LG HE4. Two bought from GB, third from my local shop (which is probably buying those batteries from China too). Is this bad for battery marriage? They all was used just in one battery mods (kbox mini, istick 60w tc, istick pico, kato mech) and was never discharged under 3,5v. Never.
So, I just want to know, that Im doing badly at this. I think I know it, but read it from more experienced folks will be more persuading for me.
Yes, I have in mind that I have to buy 4 battery charger, but I cant right now. But will in month or so.
Is it safe to do it this way or I should really buy 4 battery charger, like, right now?
Im looking at XTAR VC4, which looks fine and have good reviews. Probably my next buy, but still cant find any info about how much mA will be delivered when all 4 slots are full. I mean, 500mA is fine for me, 1A is better but I want to use it just in rush. I like to take care about stuff so it last long. I hope.
Well, sorry for wall of text and sorry if Im breaking any rules, will start a new topic if needed.
Thanks for any meaningfull reply and sorry for my bad english.
Cheers!
