Charging...........

[twintrades]

We have the vapor tech brand Batterys. I think there the 650's

Anyway when charging does the light go from red to yellow to green ? Or what........... I cant find much info out there on them....

If the charger is sitting pluged in without a battery the Light is a definite GREEN. Then i plug a dead battery in and it turns RED. After about 2-3 hrs its YELLOW....... least to me looks that way. I've never seen a green light even after an all night charge.

Are the batterys Crap or mabey the charger? or is yelllow a full charge? i thought these should be a1.5-2hr charge?



anyone help !?

Get yourself a muliti meter.

Using a bad battery can spell big trouble for you. Could be the charger or the battery.

I would get myself a known good battery and be done with it if I were you. And remember to dispose of the battery correctly.

Answer to your led question, RED - charging, Yellow, - nearing full charge, Green = charged.

Cheers.

We have 4 batteries ....... All do this. Im going to the shop tomorrow and have him look at them. irritating to say the least! I dont vape Heavy, and 2 batterys in one day?? grrrrrr..... Im going to have to save up my pennies for a MVP2 !

i dont see any info on what kind of charger youre using so im just gonna say you should do yourself a favor and get something better, i use a Xtar VP1 and i would recommend it to anyone, it reads the battery charge and tells you exactly what charge it has on it and you can set the charging current. i would definately not charge any battery on a generic charger overnight its just asking for trouble, admittedly its not a great idea with any charger but with the Xtar you atleast know that its going to stop at 4.2 +/- .05v using a better charger will get you more life out of the batteries and save you money in the long run

Ok update.....

It was a bad charger. So i bought 2 more and swapped this one out. Worked like a charm. BUT........... The "purple" batts would not show green when fully charged!(Also didnt last as long) Ugh so I switched them out for 2 other ones. Now i have a diff Purple one and the damn thing charged fine but when i got to use it will blink 3 times in a row and not fire! also i cant turn it off. Im thinking that purple batt's arnt for me lol.

If the B&M here would have MVP2's for cheaper id just swap out with that! But they want $70 for it ! Gagged at that price compared to $40 online.

Sounds like you are a good customer, lay it on the line with them. Tell them you would really like to buy an MVP from them, but almost double online price is just too high. They might come down some, or maybe throw in a tank and a bottle of juice....you never know till you try.

Yea i went there to switch out batts...... No go on the MVP price.

Then after a while i tryed the new batt with a CE-4 worked fine. Switched to a Evod tank and IT WOULD TURN ITSELF ON !!!! OMg theres my luck. So took it back to the B&M and had a laugh. ( irritated laugh) and got another GREEN battery. This time its working.............

Ill have to order a MVP online i guess

Batteries do lose their "max" charge over time. I hear people say 3 months on up to over a year. Something to consider.

A meter would help, too.
