Charger question - Using a USB cable extension (Halo Triton)

[jsparker77]

I just got a Halo Triton and was wondering if attaching a male to female USB extension cable between the Power supply and the USB charger will cause any problems? Does it mess with the voltages or anything else important? The current setup limits what outlets I can use in my house because I need enough room for the charger and battery to be able to stick out near the outlet.

A USB cable extension should pose no problem at all as long as it is from Halo. I have the Triton as well but I have not seen a cable amoung the acessories. With normal (long) extensions there is a voltage drop which might be a problem--you might want to ask Halo, also.
Make sure you use the USB connector supplied by Halo marked "Halo." If you use the one marked "G6" you could ruin the battery.
I hope this helps. Good vaping.

I use a couple generic male/female USB extension cables here and plug my USB ego style chargers into them with no problems whatsoever.

USB is nothing more than a wire with a plug on the end, nothing electronic in the cable. As signals travel through they weaken and that is the major reason for length limits on USB cables. DC current also has problems with long cables but as long as you are not building a 100' monster out of 20 cables there will be no problem. Even if you do go too long the problem will be that the mod will be slow to charge or not charge at all, no damage.

I have been using my Triton for over a year now, I have it plugged in to a regular usb extension cord, because I too was having problems with outlet location. I have had no problems, I still have my original batteries, and 2 new 1300 mah. They all still charge fine. I hope this helps.

Thanks everyone. I assumed the most critical piece was the actual Triton branded USB charger itself. What's between that and the outlet seems to be pretty standard equipment for the most part. Just wanted to see if there was any known issues or reasons not to add an extension cable, and everyone seems to confirm my original assumption.

Long as you use the screw on charger piece that fits the triton, u'll be fine. Just don't mix it with the G6 charger.

The Triton USB adapter is the only thing that matters.

I have to agree with everyone else that it should be fine, as long as you aren't using a super cheap USB extension cable. USB is specked to support up to a 15ft cable.
