What did I do to my batteries?

[Angel1964]

i was charging two lg hg2 batteries which I have done many times. It usually takes about 5 hours in my nitecore. I put them in at about 730 this morning and set a timer but forgot about them and just realized it. It 330 pm now. I took them off charger which was shut off (no readout - says "all" when done usually). I tried one in my mod and there is no power. Did I fry them or overcharge? The nitecore has never overcharged. If I let them sit will they start working again. I'm afraid now to try them in a mod.

Have you ruled out your mod isn't shot. Do you have another set of batteries.

Multimeter?

Sounds like something is up with the charger. I've left batteries in my D2 chargers overnight by accident, and the "ALL" message was still showing. My D4 stopped working by randomly shutting off one day and then continuing to do so for another couple weeks till I finally got rid of it. It may be that yours shut off in a similar manner shortly after you inserted the cells and didn't charge them back up as a result. Like r77 said, I'd check them on a multimeter (if you have one available) and see what voltage they read, before going any further.

edit: Or if you have another mod available that has a battery gauge or voltage display, you could take a peek at them that way.

For future reference if your charger is working correctly it will not overcharge your batteries no matter how long you leave them in there. Either your charger didn't charge them or your device has a problem. You can pick up a multi meter for a few bucks and it is well worth the price for the peace of mind you will get from knowing what is going on with your batteries.

Was the charger plugged in?

If plugged in to a strip was the strip on?

Ok so I quickly ran to the vape shop. My charger was pooched and he checked he batteries and they showed nothing. I gave the owner my old charger and the 2 batteries and bought a new charger. He gave me 2 new samsung 25r for free so I thought that was awesome.

Always nice when they can help out like that.

Iv had the same symptoms when putting the batteries in back words and then walking away and not realizing it. They where fine once put in correctly and charged.

A popular battery acquired at a common vape shop requires authentication.
