Flickering LCD normal?

[Seigun]

Edit: Sorry, the term in the post title should be LED

I have one of the mega chargers for my 65 and 78 volt batteries. I've noticed, though, that when the batteries are getting closer to being filled, the LED light on the end will flicker like mad. This continues until it finally stops trying to charge. This lasts however long its going to last. i've watched it go on for up to 30+ minutes, before.

I know that when the battery is attached to a wall outlet (either through the PCC or the USB charger, this doesn't happen. It only happens when the PCC is charging the battery by itself.
When the battery does go through this, the charge level that the PCC finds on the batter isn't really full. I have to go back and re-charge using the wall, but by now I don't really trust the PCC to tell me what the battery charge is anymore. The light on the end of the battery will stay out while I continue to wall charge it, as well. It works normally when I vape though.


Does anyone else see this happen when they use their PCC? Should I get the PCC replaced? Perhaps this is a battery issue and both batteries need to be replaced as well? I just got all three in the mail a little less than two weeks ago.

It isn't your batteries, it is the Mega Charger thing.

You probably have either a dirty connection (need to clean the male end of the battery and the female end of the PCC) or a bad connection. I don't use the 65's or 78's any longer but my wife does. I have seen it flicker when it is done charging but we have continued to use it. I also ordered a PCC and it wasn't charging at all and SI replaced it for me pretty quickly.

I would recommend trying to clean it with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel/cotton ball/q-tip and let it dry. If that doesnt fix it, email SI. You will find them to be quite accommodating if there is an issue.

I thought the title was "fingering LCD Normal?"


Yes this is normal on PCC's no need to worry about. Most probably it's interference from the internal step up converter, has bad filtering and causes the asic inside the battery to get confused. No need to worry it charges normally.
