Charger For GoGo

[Pink Floyd]

Hope you see this Frank.

Got a question. I just got my GoGo kit from you this past weekend. The supplied charger's green light on the end the battery screws onto goes out after 2 1/2 hours. Normally with these chargers after the red light goes out the green will stay on forever until you unplug from the AC source.
I have someone else in the house I live in have the same charger for their GoGo, and it stays on until unplugged from the AC.

If I am to do a 8 hour charge for the initial charge, how do I know if it is indeed getting a charge/trickle charge, if the light goes completely out/off after 2 1/2 hours?

Is this a defect?
Did something change with this batch?

I think I very well may have a bad charger, but am not sure. (I see another recent post that their charger they just got is broke)
Its like clock work...at 2 1/2 hours.... lights out.

Please help

Thanks
John

Pink,

Well your situation is unique, so far. I have had the led's just stop working on a few of the 808 chargers and they still charged the batteries. But I have not had any reports of that or what you have described with the Go-go's.

Did you vape the batts down till they flashed like in the instruction sheet? A full charge takes between 3 and 4 hours after the flash. They don't need an overnight charge!

I will watch for your post tomorrow to see if the batts are charging. My charger is one of the originals and it goes from red to green when finished charging. I don't know if it has been changed to just going off when finished. Maybe some of the other folks who received there Go-go's in the last week can sound off on whats up with theirs!!!!!!

Thank you for the quick response Frank.
Yes, I don't put battery's on the charger till the battery is dead/light flashing on button in the case of the Gogo. The charge only took 2 1/2 hours. It did go from red to green when done charging, but then went off completely. This is what concerns me a little since I know others that have the Gogo, and their light stays green after the charge, and stays green till unplugged from AC.

I just put on a battery that I charged Sunday, so I will see how long the battery last, and let ya know if all is well and it took a full charge.

Thanks again.

The battery appears to have taken a full charge despite the weird way the charger is acting as stated above. I got about 2 days of fairly heavy vaping out of it, so all appears well. Charger still acts unlike other chargers of the GoGo, but it seems it charges still. (still keeping my fingers crossed though)

Thanks

After reading this thread I got to wondering if my charger was working at all. The first out-of-the-box battery finally died, so I put in on the charger but there was no light on the connector at all. Went ahead and let it go overnight but had not tried it. So... I gave the battery a try and it went right to flashing. Guess the charger is defective. I did try it on USB with same result. Guess it's back to Frank.
