Charging question

[Shining]

I just recieved my new Riva 510 and Joye 510. According to the pamplets the batteries should charge for a full 8 hours regardless if the green light comes on, then use it for 20 minutes and back on the charger for 1 more hour?? It was bit confusing and just wanted to make sure I got it right.

Ordered from Liberty-Flights and though I was happy with the phone service and assistance I got, so far I'm less than pleased with my order. I was shorted a bottle of juice and promised a sample bottle of Cherry Cola which also was not included. Email sent but no response just yet.

Anyway,,,back to the charging question? Any thoughts?

you can fallow those guidline but i never have and have never had any problems, i charged mine up used it till it was dead and did that a few times then it seems as if i was good to go...ive only killed one bat and that took about 2-2 1/2 months, like i said"guidlines" if you cant wait 8 hours dont bother IMO, good luck and have a great day!-)

Here are my instructions:

Take one Riva battery and get it all set up, then vape your head off immediately. Put the other batteries on the chargers.

The instructions you got are old an outdated.

So I should just charge until the green light comes on in both types?

The green light means the battery is fully charged, ready to vape!
Be sure to label the chargers, using an ego charger on a standard 510 battery can kill it quick.

Yep for sure. Your Riva charger will say 420 mah on it and the standard 510 will be like 200 mah. The Riva can supply too much current for a standard battery and therefore shorten its life by a large amount.

Ohh thank you for that!! I would not have even thought about it. The chargers look different so it should not be a problem but I will lable them anyway. The Riva has a usb port on it, the regular 510 has just a plug in connection.

Update,,,I did recieve an email from Liberty Flights and was credited for the missing juice. As said in this forum, their customer service is outstanding. They were very nice and aplogetic over the mix up.

The battery is fully charged if the light is green! You can vape it now. Think the instruction you got is an old one.

The current from the charger cuts off when the light turns green. After that, it's doing absolutely nothing.

Great, just wanted to make sure I didn't overcharge them and burn them up. I kept finding conflicting information about charging the batteries when you first get them.

Cool, had not known that myself.
