Charging the tarot nano

[Orko38]

Hi everyone, i can't seem to find the info on the internet so i ask here:

Tarot nano got a 2500mah battery, i'm wondering, can i charge it with a 2A charger or not ?

I already searched on internet but some say yes others no !

Thank you very much !

I did a quick google and also found nothing.

The charging circuitry in the mod will draw as many amps it is designed to do, amps are drawn by the device not pushed by the charger. So a 2 amp charger is fine as it highly unlikely the mods charging circuitry is capable of drawing more than 2 amps. Also charging batteries very quickly with high amperage is convenient, but will cause extra wear on them. Low and slow is best, I never charge with more than 0.5 amps.

Yeah that's what i was thinking too, the box must be "smart" to take only what it need from the charger right ? thx for the answer !

Usb is handy that way as a standard. My advice for all internal batterymod users is to use a microUSB2 magnetic adapter and leave the adapter in the device to reduce port wear

It's not really smart. Any device that charges, or plugs in, does this. Just as said above, the device pulls the current needed, the cord does not force the current into the device.

Not smart, just physics.

The cables the guys in this video are sitting on are carrying up to 400,000 volts, enough to vaporize them. They are safe because they are not grounded.

Ok ! thank you guyz !

The Tarot Nano takes 5V-2A standard charge
