Ego Batteries seem to last longer if you.....

[borjis]

charge them with the original 510 charger and not the fast charger.

Recently my fast charger died and only having the 510 charger to use, I would charge the E-Go batteries overnight.

I've been doing this for months now and the batteries seem to last several hours longer than usual.

anyone else notice this?

Lithium chemistry batteries prefer slow charging, but I doubt I'd notice the difference between a 150 or 420ma charge other than the time involved. I'd guess the best observation would be an increase in the number of charges before EOS.

How'd you get an eGo battery on a standard 510 charger?

if you use cleaned or new attis.

@Cee_Jay, look for charging adapters

?? my ego have the same size threads as the reg 510 and fit fine on the 510 charger..

if you have a 510 usb charger, ok. the standard charger needs an adapter because the threads are a bit deep inside the charger.

yeah using the usb charger.

I'm not using new atty's either, though I do clean them every other week.

Still the batteries last 2-3 hrs longer on the slow charging routine. I vape all day at work and normally the batteries quit around 6-7pm, but slow charging they last to 9-10pm.

Here's the adaptor (that Kelemvor referenced) needed to charge an eGo battery on a regular 510 AC charger or on a 5 or 10 battery brick.

i actually never used my rapid usb charger until my wall charger broke. i was shocked at how short a battery life i was getting out of the rapid charger! on my 1000mah ego battery sometimes i was getting up to 48 hours on the thing...with the rapid charger that decreased it to less than 8. needless to say, i bought a new wall charger.
