Can't charge a Hello/Ego/Riva on regular charger.. but can you..

[THE]

You can't charge any of them on a regular 510 charger, right?
Can you charge a regular battery on an ego or hello charger??

Is it an issue of current or polarity?
I thought someone said that the polarity wasn't correct..

510 batt+ego charger=BOOM. No bad idea. You can charge a eGo et al. on a 510 charger with an adapter, don't know where to get one.

So it will be a bad idea if my brother in law tried to charge some normal sized small batteries on his Hello charger?

Better let him know.... I actually like my brother in law

Right EGO/Hello on Ego/Hello chargers only The Ego/Hello chargers have a quick charge system in them and can damage your ST 510 batts. or as the other Poster stated ((BOOM))

Well I still owe him for the "slamming on the brakes when I was trying to get back to the middle seat on Christmas knocking me into the front seat" incident

But then I remember the "me jumping out from behind my cadillac when it was pitch black outside and racking a shotgun making him jump ten feet in the air" incident

So I guess the "withholding information leading to an exploding battery" incident really should never happen ... especially since battery acid can eat your eyes

It's lithium ion, and lithium can be very toxic, even deadly.

So can a shotgun!!! LOL


Nah, seriously, I'd never let them mess around and do anything dangerous

This raises a question I just had, is there any problem using the ego parts on a regular passthru? I wouldn't think it would matter to the atty which way the current was flowing.

Nope, the atty doesn't care. The problem is only w/ the eGo "quick" charger. Just too much for the 510s to handle.
