Cell phone charger for a battery?

[jacko]

I have been wondering if anyone has tried to use a cell phone charger for their e-cig battery.
I had some trouble with a charger, so I found one of my old Motorola cell phone chargers.... 3.7 volt.
I fabricated a plug and attached the battery and got the battery led to turn on while it is connected.
I have been afraid to leave it for long, just in case.... But I wondered if these cell chargers, or the battery has a protection circuit so that I don't damage the battery if I leave it longer.
Does anyone know if this should be okay to use?

Well, I guess I'll try it and see for myself.
If anyone is wondering, I will let you know.

We have used my husband's old Motorola mini USB phone charger to charge the PCC for the 510. But that's not as complex as what you're doing!

WTF? OK, I get it now, it took a second then a third reading to get what you were saying there. Translation: He want's a wallet size picture of your avatar.

See I am a misspelling member, only the ECF's veterans understand me.

FYI... charger does not work. Evidently there is no current cutoff at full charge, so my battery self destructed.
Good thing that I found that one for only $8.

I don't wish to disturb your journey to find your own solutions. However, you might consider my experience with charging.

Whatever I use to charge, it needs to do more than one ecig at a time. This is my setup, though I usually don't need all of it:

1) 5 USB chargers.
2) Kensington 4-port USB wall charger for 4 chargers.
3) Kensington car-cig-lighter to USB adapter for one charger.

The single wall adapter for four USB chargers is a really clean setup.

I hardly ever use the car charger. I'm kind of a home body--not near the traveling adventurer I thought I was

This probably seems expensive. I didn't buy everything right away. It's just that in the end you may be sorry buying or trying to use simple wall chargers.

HTH,
Dave

Thanks for the input WDAVE. I guess I am learning the hard way.... I just ordered a USB charger, I have a wall USB xformer for another device that should work.... they are all 5V.
I will take your advice (I really like your idea of charging 4 or 5 on ea. device... good choice).
thanks again, I guess this is going to be a learning experience.
