Hello! in need of some experienced vapers, regarding charger nitecore i4

[Runnbl3]

After reading about a connected slots,

Will charging 3 batteries in the nitecore i4 therefore not properly marry them since two batteries will be charged at 375ma and one at 750ma?


Im wondering, if i can check the actually percentage of the battery by using my other nitecore charger ( 1slot )

my batteries are 6lg-hg2s running on my rx200

also, im looking to tryout high-end coil builds.. do you guys recommend some company/a guy to tryout his coils? framed staples,alien claptons,staggered clapton?

Welcome to ECF Runnbl3.
Can't answer but you may have better luck asking Q1 in the battery forum and Q 2 in the coil build forum. Cheers.

Edit. Personally I'd invest in a 6 bay charger if my mod used 3 batts but not sure how important it is.

I don't know how the i4 in particular works, but I have a D4 and it displays the charge status for all 4 slots, and when I charge 3 batteries, all are charged at 375 mAh, and all finish at the same time (within reason).

I use my Nitecore i4 to charge nimh cells these days, but the specs say that it charges at 375ma with 4 batteries and 750ma with 2. I also use a LUC 4 for charging ecig batteries.

OUTPUT
4.2V ± 1% / 1.48V ± 1%
0.375A*4 / 0.75A*2

If you want a charger that can do all four slots at .5A and 1.0A look at the Efest LUC 4.

Is there any charger out there that will charge 4 batteries at the same time that will be over 500ma for all 4?

Thanks!

I have the i4 charger. Now knowing it charges slower with more batteries (may have known this anyways) I still love it. For the fact that it can charge four different types of batteries all at once. Quite useful.

For the coils to try I'm looking at getting into some building myself and found some trial packs, here's a China and a USA example of what I've been looking at.

It's cool. As long as it eventually charges to the same voltage and are discharged together it's cool.

If you wanted to you could charge them at different times as long as they are discharged together in the same mod. Why you would do this I don't know. It would make things too confusing.

You will be cool with charging at different rates as long as you discharge/use them together.

As long as married batteries are discharged together and are fully charged when put into a mod, you're good. If you really want to be OCD, mark each battery and alternate the order that they go into the mod each time; I don't do this myself in my RX200 as I find this to be overkill.

I also use the Nitecore i4. I notice that it charges my LG HG2 and AW 3000mah batteries at different speeds. If they are in bays 1, 2, and 3 the battery in bay 2 always finishes charging first. If they are in bays 2, 3, and 4 the battery in bay 3 always finishes first.

Although the i4 is supposed to have four independent charging bays, I don't believe this is the case. Bays 1 & 3 and bays 2 & 4 appear to be sharing a circuit. Its not a big deal to me that the batteries charge at different rates as long as all three batteries reach a full charge.
