AW IMR 18350 and Nitecore D2

[Hawaii]

I'm new to this forums and I'm hoping this is the place to post this.

I just got a Provari Mini, Nitecore digicharger D2 and two AW IMR 18350 batteries. Why does the charger say 300mah but on the batteries it's labeled as a 700mah? I don't get it? Anybody have this experience? Is this normal?

The 300 mah is the amount of current being fed to the battery by the charger. 18350 batteries, being the small size that they are, can only safely receive the 300 mah current; if they were fed over that amount, it could be unsafe for the battery. The D3 charger automatically recognizes the battery as an 18350 and automatically adjusts the correct amount of current during charging.

Aaahhhh. I got it! Thnx Baditude!

Last night I decided to remove the "New" AW IMR 18650 battery when I've seen the weak battery flashing on the screen while I was trying to build nickel coils running on my rDNA 40 on temp control. So when I woke up this morning at 6:30am, it was still charging on "Low" on the Nitecore charger. The time on it, "7 hours"! No way! When I had my Provari mini, the blue light flashes and you could not fire it. Do you know what's going on? When I take out the battery from the mini, it only takes about 2-3 hours to complete the charge but 7 hours in the VS sounds odd. You know what voltage this VS stops you from firing it or will it discharge completely and then shut off therefore ruining your 18650?

I have the same setup and I'm pretty sure the D2 charges at 500mAh. Takes about 1.5 hours to charge 2 batteries.

From Nitecore website. 750mA for up to 2 batteries and 375mA when using all four ports. Hope that helps. Enjoy the day!
