ok, so I double check the charger DH bought me,,,,,,,,,,says 5 volt 1.0-1.5 amps,,,,which I assume is enough,,,,,,,b ut does that mean it SOMETIMES gets to 1.5???

maybe it's not enough,,,,,

I emailed support to ask what they think.
Is your charger a decent brand, Holly? That X2 only draws like 0.130 amps when charging and not using as a PT - even if it were only a 0.5 amp charger, it would still be fine. So if you had another charger handy, I would try that.

Sitting down, facing forward.

I have carefully monitored charge current on five different X2-650 batteries. Typically they initially draw 180 to 190 milliamps at the beginning of a charge cycle. They taper off slowly over a period of about three and a half to four hours with an ending current of about 30 milliamps. I do have one, that is not in good shape, that draws over 230 milliamps when used as a pass through. I would expect the current draw to be similar for 900 and 1300 batteries but the charge time would be proportionally longer, of course. Technically, any charger capable of at least 500 milliamps at five volts should be adequate to charge one.

Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it, your results and mileage may vary, no warrantee or guarantee is expressed or implied.

Still waaay under 0.5 amps...I guess it was the 78s that was at 0.120-0.130.

Hi Officer,,,,,good morning!!!!

yeah, I noticed that yesterday,,,,,,when it died, it JUST DIED :lol: it was vaping JUST FINE until it died LOL,,,,,

the only thing I'm concerned about is how will I know it's done charging??? After 8 hours, the light was just as bright,,,,,no dimming.l

Tried to open the ticket, but their tickets aren't working now,,,,,,,says to send an email, but I'll wait a bit and make sure this works all day before I try that,,,,,,,,,,just in case.

I think my next one will be a manual,,,,,,,,just to try it and have one of each :)

Morning in the afternoon, yea the manuals rock!!

Last night when Rave first mentioned it I checked. There were a little over 900 users signed in and about 900 lurkers. Right now there are about 850 of both...

It's those damn lurkers, off with their anonymous heads. The ECF needs a new rule sign up or get the F___ out!!! Burn em at the stake or loose a herd of Raves Monkeys on them!
