battery not detected by intellicharger i2 after it was charged by it.

[aalmosawi]

ok this is rather odd.

i have a intellicharger i2 which has been ok with me thus far ... well, today when i plug one battery in AFTER it showed it was full of charge on the same charger it will not blink leds anymore.
oddly if i put any other battery it will flash leds.
only this one battery that it just finished charging wont detect.

if i test it on a multimeter it shows a good number of 4.17 (as do all other batteries)

this is on a LG HG2.

and yes the battery does work and yes i tried it in both slots and i even flipped it around (the device does have reverse protection - charger)

Do the LED light up at all ?
This is why I prefer the D2 / D4, you can see what's going on better...

 

[aalmosawi]

Nope. Nothing at all

 

[Hitmetwice]

I would not be overly concerned as long as after discharging it charges back up again...then no problem.
You may however want to keep a closer eye on this batt than the others as it is acting a little differently. Cheers.

Hmm it is a strange one....

Led's are nice but your multi meter is king

Wipe all contacts with cotton swab and Alcohol.
Insert Battery and wait 30-45 seconds for it to test then register the battery.

Normally A fully charged Battery will be indicated by 3 solid LED's, however reinserting a Charged battery should reset the test cycle.
1 LED Blinking, then within a minute or so 2 LED's blinking, and finally after another minute or more(Drop Dependent) 3 LED's Blinking. At Top -off, 4.20v, all LED's should go solid again.

I use the Nitecore I4

not making proper contact somewhere.
my guess, the bottom of the battery is probably dented in.


See the "L" shaped spring loaded contact in the chargers? They tend to get bent backward

Ahhh, guy's, it's just one battery out of three this happens with in any channel sled

He really didn't say that. Not clearly anyway:

Notes One After Fully Charged.

This happens to me all the time. I think it's the fault of the charger since it does it with different size batteries.

One reason I prefer Xtar chargers.

My Efest LUC 4 went wacky on me recently , it is supposed to stop blinking when the battery reaches a full charge but it doesn't in some cases , if you push the battery down to break contact and then let it reestablish contact again it will stop blinking .

I ordered an Xtar , hopefully better results.

 

[daviedog]

I have 2 xtars, no problems.
But if you are serious about battery maintanence, Opus 3400..

 

[defdock]

Has me curious.

The xtar charger I have, it says in The manual that cells over 4.10v will not "top off" on the charger, unless you insert the cell then proceed to plug in the charger afterwards.

Doubtful other brands function the same, but it's a long shot

$100 to charge vaping batteries?

Makes no sense.

Consider the source.

I charge lipos with this...

For now.

I can do all the opus does... and a lot more... for a mere $3 I'm unwilling to spend to do so.

Congratulations on getting some genuine, high discharge batteries

The opus was 45usd. With 2 xtars you're right! about 100 total. Going to link you provided once I'm through practicing..

Oh darn.

Now I feel like a fool.

If only I could remember what the charger was called I thought you were referring to.

I couldn't find it more than a couple pennies less than $100 just a few weeks ago.

But it's not the opus you mentioned.

Sorry. I'm a dope.

I figured it out.

The charger I was thinking about was the Sky RC mc3000.

A very sweet charger. But quite a bit over priced.

Especially for SkyRC who is known for top quality budget electronics.
