So I have had a vision spinny 1300mah for a few weeks now and can never get it to charge all the way even though I have tried like 3 different chargers

I leave it on 4.2 volts and have charged it for like 10 hours and just cant get it to charge all the way, I have never got it to last me from the time I wake up and take it off the charger around 8 am till the end of the day. It normaly dies around 7 pm

is this normal?

Here;s a few ideas, let's troubleshoot your situation, cuz I've been thru all this with newer spinners.

1) "Time" charging is not significant. When the light on USB goes green, you are charged. It doesn't matter how long you leave the battery on there after that, 5 hours or 10 hours. (although you shouldn't ever leave a bat on a charger past the point it is charged/green)

After the first charge, your spinnner shouldn't need to be on charger more than about 3 hours. I never timed mine, but 10 hours would be *excessive*. Is it a 1300mah? Or one of the newer ones that is even higher mah?

2) A 1300mah Spinner can last anywhere from 6 hours to about 13 hours, it really all depends on if you are using LR coils, how high you turn the battery voltage up, etc. LR coils will run battery out faster. So will LR coils + turning up the voltage

3) When you screw the usb onto the spinner, does the light on the usb go to red? If it stays green then you are not charging. It has to go from green to red while it checks to see if there is a charge.

4) sometimes it helps to press the on/off button on the spinner once or 3 times, then the usb goes to red and starts charging.

5) Does your USB charger connector come out past the black rim of the charger body a little bit?

There's been a little bit of a problem with spinners charging, the newer ones seem to have a much deeper 510 connector than joyetch and other brands......and possible your charger is not making contact with the spinner battery connection.

The charger I got to work w/mine, the silver connector sticks out a bit from the rim....joyetech charger would not work, charger pin was not sticking out far enough.


Those are the things that I wrestled with, but of course, you COULD have a bad one. Do you have more than one spinner to test with?? Or is this only happening with one spinner battery?

Its a 1300mah and yes the light goes red when I screw it onto the charger but it never turns green, it will however blink between red and green but the red is like 3 sec and the gren is lie .25 sec.

I use 2.2ohm coils and will change my coltage dependin on what juice anywhere between 3.5 to 4.4

Is it possible that my spinner is charged all the way and the light on my charger just isnt changin to green
The charger does turn to green when my orher batterys are finnished charging, those batterys ar le 650mah though

Okay autobio that is cool, because ya the light does turn on on the battery itself and will eventualy shut off however the green light on the charger wont turn green.
I didnt know that thats what that light ment somone told me that when that light turned off it still had like 20% more charge till completion but I guess I was informed wrong.

Thank you for the help guys I will just go from the light on the spinner from noww on

from what you describe it is fully charged.the circuits in the charger don't match 100% with the circuit in the battery. they are not recognizing each other data or,something similar. i have 6 chargers and 3 of them will behave oddly depending on the brand of battery i'm charging. when it flashes green the charger knows the battery is charged but doesn't get data from the battery indicating it will now stop taking a charge,so the charger tries again.

Okay sooo this is really frustrating. I just charged the spinner ALLLL NIGHT. And it dies after about a hour and a half of use?!?! It has never done that before. Both connecions are clean and tthe lights were on as normal. When I unpluged in in the mor ing though the light on the spinner hadnt turned off yet after xharging for atleast 7 hours

Right after I figure one problem out now I have this happen, and it really sucks bc its the only half good battery that I have, the only other one I have fr a backup in a ....ty fake ego t 650mah (not a twist, just a ego-t) and it doesnt even make a good connection a lot of times bc the pin fell deeper in and it will start to flood epicly somtimes and other times it will work, its really bipolar. Man I wish I had more money to just be able to buy all kinds of vaping gear. Looks like I might be playing a scratch ticket today. *fingers crossed*

I just plugged the spinner back in with a different charger ( my samsung galaxy s5 charger) hopfully this one will work better bc it has a stronger out put than the other one

Stronger out put. = faster charging????
I would think so. Anyone know?
that could be.you might have had a charger designed for a smaller battery.1300 mah will charge on your typical 500 ma charger,it takes longer though. i am not sure what 1300 mah battery charging profile is. i am sure it would take more ma's if the charger is capable. i ahve 2, 2.1 amp out put dual port chargers and 2 four way splitters. what are the specs on the charger your having a problem with?

When the light on the spinner goes off, my charger light is green. So it's definitely fully charged then.
