Charging Time on VTC4s in Intellicharge i2

[Younghorsejr]

I just got my x cube 2 and I have been charging to the vtc4s in my intellicharger i2, do I have to wait before they are fully charged to use them? Or can I use them in the mod for just a bit in order to try the x cube 2 out? Thanks
Also they have been charging for well over an hour as of now

You don't have to wait until you've got a full, 4.2V charge, but... I'd wait until you have at least the 3.7V nominal voltage.

I agree with State O' Flux. Check battery voltage and if they are 3.7 or higher go for it

Ok thanks guys. Yeah is there anyway to check the voltage? When I use my x cube 2 it shows the volts ranging from 3.8-4.2 but I'm not sure if that is the battery reading or what

Your welcome

I check my batteries with a DMM (digital multimeter). I don't have a x cube 2, but from a quick look at it online I'm pretty sure you can get battery voltage readings from it. Read the manual and you'll figure it out

I just want to throw this out there that if you want a faster charge, buy an Eleaf Luc4. You can charge up to four batteries at 1 amp each or two batteries at 2 amps each.

Didn't you mean an Efest Luc4?

Actually, charging your batteries SLOWER is healthier for your batteries, and will allow them to more likely enjoy a longer overall life expectancy.

Have more than one battery; two is better, three is better still. Using your batteries in a rotation is the best way to use replaceable rechargeable batteries.

• One in use in your mod
• One in the charger
• One fully charged and "resting", ready to be used next.

Rest batteries after charging. One commonly-reported factor in almost all the incidents we hear of where batteries failed violently while in use is that they were taken directly off the charger and then used immediately, at which point they failed.

Because of this, we think it may be a good idea to rest batteries after charging them. This advice will not be found in the usual 'reference bibles' on batteries, but we see more and different reports than others. Therefore we now advise:

Do not use batteries directly after charging them. Use a battery or batteries you previously charged, and that have rested for several hours. This is especially important if using a stacked pair for higher voltage, as statistically the risk is far higher.​

Yes. My auto correct must have changed it to eLeaf. I meant eFest. But now if what you say is true, wouldn't that mean that any mod that charges internally is also dangerous?
