Compatability

does anyone know if I can charge a joye 510 battery on my blu chargers?

I started with a blu kit. not thrilled. bought new 510 atty's from joye which I read would fit my blu. and they do. and I love them a ton better. But now my blu batteries are going after 45 minutes and 2 have died within a month.

it would be great if I could charge them with my blu charges but if not I will just buy their chargers.

whew. that was a lot for a simple question.

thanks,

Do not try charging 510 batteries on Blu (L88B) chargers. The polarity is opposite and it will damage both the battery and charger.

ok thanks. then I will get the charger that goes with it. do you think they are better batteries? or maybe I should keep ordering Blu's.

If you're going to go 510, grab an eGo battery... they last 10x longer. But i thinkt he 510s are still better than the blue (mAh-wise)

I like that battery. but can I use the 510 attys with it? I've emailed their customer support with these questions and they never get back to me. People here are super quick!

oh, and can I use my usb charger with these? are usb chargers all the same? is it just the box recharger that won't work?

Well...... between 3 and 4 times longer anyway. eGo = 650 mAh
Standard 510 battery = 180 mAh

The Blu battery is a L88b, and the 510 has the polarity ( -/+ ) in reverse compared to the Blu. You can swap atties and cartos back and forth but if you use the charger from Blu on a 510 and vice versa, you will fry the batty and probably the charger too. ( any charger )

You can use the 510 charger on an eGo batt, but they need an adapter to fit and it will take all day to charge. Best to get an eGo charger if you go that route(I love my eGo).

OK! thank you! I am ordering now then! charger + battery. and I will order it from bestecigshop.com because they shipped my atty's in record time and they still work great!

This should be made Sticky !!!

I learned the hard way when the Magic smoke came out of my 510 battery.
