Battery Overcharging Confusion

[RCP1991]

Hey, Guys

So I use a xtar SV2 Plus Battery Charger which has a little voltage clock type display on it. Link provided.

XTAR VC2 Charger

Anyway, I have some Sony VTC 18650 batteries that I use in my vape and the box says 3.7v. Now, when I put them in my charger it does not read as fully recharged until the little clock thing hits 4.2v. Is it overcharging my battery? Should I be removing them from the charger early?

If so, is there a charger that won't do this.

Thanks!!

Nope, you're fine.

I concur. if it read anything below 4v you'd have a bad battery. 3.7 is the average. A battery loses volts as it discharges like a balloon loses pressure as it empties. The battery will stop delivering power at all eventually. usually around 3.25v
