Dumb question about PCC for 510

[cg0617]

I have the RN4081 and I am going to purchase a joye 510. I am doing some research and comparing prices. On goodprophets, it states that the pcc for the 510 can charge 1 batt up to 4 times.

huh?

As in it can charge one battery (up to 4 times), and then the batt is no good?? I don't get why it says that. Perhaps someone can clarify this for me.

And then you'd have to recharge the PCC

The 510 PCC (portable charging case) charges the battery for your 510. The PCC itself, since it is portable, has an internal battery which must be charged up so that it can charge the 510 battery. On one full charge of the PCC, the 510 battery can charge up to 4 times. After that, the PC itself must be charged again.

When I got my PCC it wasn't pushing the battery down far enough, my husband took it apart a few minutes ago and fixed it

I am wondering how long it takes to charge the battery, but now that it is fixed, I do not have any uncharged batteries, any one have an answer?

Ahhhh! I see. Thats really a cool concept. I'm glad I asked

About an hour or so.

Lucky for you, your PCC should also charge most of your 4081 batteries.

Also, if you order on of the Mega 510 batteries from Totally Wicked, the PCC will charge it if you're very careful and can put it some place where it won't move for a couple of hours. You can't close the cover while it's in, since it is so much longer, but if you push down on it manually and get it to seat right, then lay it down and leave it alone, it will get it to full capacity in 1.5 to 2 hours.

Just a tip (if you're like me and still don't have your standalone charger for your 510...).

Hey thanks! I considered that. Hadn't had the opportunity to try but glad it works.
