650mAh Battery ( Charging )

[m1ke]

Nothing I've read is very clear about the following: Is it OK to charge a 650mAh battery with a 200mA charger ?

Will it just take longer ( than a 420mA ) to charge ?

I charge it through a wall outlet.

I think it would be ok. Doing the opposite, however, could be problematic.

Make sure your threads are clean too. Made that mistake.

You are perfectly safe charging a 650 mAh battery with a 200 mA charger. But there is the issue of polarity also and you did not tell us which battery you have or what charger you will be using other than the mA rating. Read post #4 in this thread for more information.

It will be no problem, but 500mAh will be better

200mah charging will take over 3 hours. 500 mah charging will take about and hour and a half. You can use a 200 mah charger, just be prepared to wait longer.

Look around at mods using the 18650 battery. You will get all day vaping from an 18650 2000mah IMR and replacements run around $12 to $15 each for AW brand. Efest can be had for $10. A Trustfire TR-001 charger runs about $15 and will charge two 18650's at a time.

The Vamo VV/VW mod is selling for $50, uses 18650 batts, and will use all your 510 thread atomizers.

I clean the threads regularly. It's a good tip though.

The battery is an eGo and the charger is a standard 510 charger ( it came with the thin cigarette looking battery ).

The charger has been charging the 650 mAh eGo well, but there is one thing a little weird about the process: After a few hours of charging, I figured it should be charged, but the charge light was still red, so I disconnected the battery from the charger, then in the same minute reconnected it and the charge light was green. ?

I've read this is a safe combination. I would not let it go unattended for the first charge though, just to be really safe. If the battery gets even slightly warm there is something wrong and I would stop.

Right.. The battery stays cool while charging.

it will charge fine but will take about twice as long

Yea, I just ordered a 420 mA charger.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.
