charger question

[annah]

I have both 650mah and 900mah batteries.

Can I use a 500mah charger? The one that came with the kit was a 500 in/ 420out charger. Can I use one of the 500 in/ 500 out chargers on the batteries I have?

The charger output is 4.2 V. It is important to use the right charger, the mAh cannot be too high or you can blow up the battery. The eGo 420 mAh out is a fast charger.

The 500mah out is also sold as an ego charger. I didn't realize I had ordered the wrong one from Healthcabin until it arrived. They sell 420/450/500 chargers for ego.

So the question, since it is sold as an ego charger, can I use it, or will it fry my battery? What is the max mah that an ego battery can take?

for li-ion batts you mai use 4.2V at 500mah charger

The eGo 420 mA is a fast charger for the 650mAh battery. The others may be for the larger batteries if the chargers are Joye.

The output is 4.2V, 500 mah. They don't say joye, just universal ego charger. Apparently, (if it doesn't blow the batteries up) the 500 is a *super fast* charger. lol.

4.2v 420 mah is the recommended type for egos don't use a 510 charger either even though its mah is lower it will still damage the battery.
