Nick, You need to go to the dealer's pages and find what you are looking for. These are common units, so should not
be difficult. Opening page here on ECF, listings below all the other items, gives a list of dealer sites. Visit them for
price comparison on your 510 pass-through.

Is a pass thru the same as a pcc? I was under the impression that one was for on the go, and one for the computer. I guess what I am looking for is something I can take with me to charge batteries when there is no computer. What is that called?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but the charger will quit charging the battery when it's full and then I think it does kick back in periodically. Some people have said that leaving a battery in the PCC for a long time would discharge the PCC, but I never really noticed that. However, I didn't use my PCC too much, or at least not on a regular basis. I love it, though.

I own one of these Ive had it for just over a month

It has three lights on it. The first light turns on when charging a battery. Turns off when the battery is charged, even with the battery still in the slot. So this allows you to carry the extra battery without it draining the PCC battery. I saw somewhere that the two actually trade charge back and forth but I can not confirm this is true.

The second light has never turned on and I have no idea what it does LOL. The third light turns red when charging the PCC and GREEN once the PCC is fully charged. It can also charge a battery while charging the case itself.

The battery however is placed in its slot and pushed down by the lid of the case ( not screwed it ) it therefore applies pressure to the lid the entire time its in there pushing the lid away from the case itself. The "clasp" that holds the lid in place is very flimsy. It is possible for the lid to fly open and the battery thats charging to be ejected as its spring loaded. This can be both frustrating and funny. Craftsmanship on this unit is lacking.

I have only run out of juice on the PCC once and that was due to my own lack of recharging it. It fits into a shirt pocket much like a pack of cigs would

pros:

It recharges my batteries ALL day long.
Carries one battery ( charging ) one atomizer ( with cart attached ) and two carts ( not attached to atomizer )
Light and very portable.

cons:

Flimsy not sturdy.
Lid holds battery in place and can sometimes flip open on its own, spilling contents or actually flinging the battery


The PCC is not a perfect solution but it is a solution and one of the better ones Ive found. I fully ewxpect to have to replace mine within 6 months, but for 20 bucks, the convenience it provides, 6 months of use might just make it worth the price.

So overall I give it a thumbs up.
