I found this small ego style battery to other day and I was wondering anybody knew what kind of charger I need for this.

Here is a comparison to the normal one I bought, also a pic of what I think it might be. Hoping somebody knows so I don't blow the house up. Can't afford that right now.

How many mAh is the normal one?

Also, where did you find the new battery and how sure are you that it's good?

If you're pretty sure the new one is 650 mAh, you can probably use any standard eGo charger which outputs around 450 mA. I would still however be very cautious with the first charge and check the battery frequently to make sure it isn't heating up. Any heat while charging is bad.

Consensus here seems to be, and many vendors will have a similar blurb...... if it's a 450mAh or more, then the regular 'fast charger' eGo charger (4.2V 420mA spec) should be good. Below 420mAh on the batt, you might want to try a 'slow charger' with lower mA in the specs.

That said, there are many who have used the eGo charger on the 350mAh batts, evidently without a problem. When I went looking for a mini - I went with the 450mAh for that reason above.
