How does the PCC work?

[Mary Kay]

I charged it up and the red light went from red to green! Cool.
Then I put a battery on and it (the battery blinked and the PCC lifht went red. With me so far?
But then I waited..and waited ..and waited. The red light never went off. I waited 4 hours and took the batt off. It seemed to be fully charged.
Is it me or is that the way it works? I just need to time it? I do wish the light would go green..lol I get distracted...a lot!

Happy Halloween!

The batt light won't go green, it will blink and go off. Every so often it will blink again as it searches to see if the battery needs a charge and decides it doesn't. If you had left it on for a few more minutes, it probably would have done that - impatient woman you! lol

Love your little halloween smilies!

Mine does that. Actually, the light goes out & then comes back on. I usually unscrew the battery a bit and leave it like that.

If you're not sure the battery is charged, unscrew it & then screw it back in. If the red light goes out within a few seconds, the battery is full.

I was wondering this also. Cool.

 

[Mary Kay]

OK..No I didn't see any blinkings or see the light go out..how would one even see all that if the case is closed? Anyway I was just wondering because while this thing is really nice, it won't be used much. I stay home most of the time.
But I do need to know how it works for when I am out of town.
Thanks everyone.

Happy Halloween!

 

[Pawpaw]

'Cause when I charge my stuff the case isn't closed!

 

[Cimyss]

LOL me too and its probably safe to say at max 5 hours should do it! Not sure of times with all the new different batterys floating arround Doshma had a post with them awhile back and I seem to remeber 5 hours being mentioned. If you want to time it. I usually use my PCC to charge overnight as I turn my computer off. This helps as I know its done when I wake up

 

[SMILIN]

I go by time, 4-5 hours is PERFECT, the lights are like idiot lights ion my srt8, they sometimes work. Charge overnight, each night....no worries.

Best damn PCC I have used to date

I agree, although I've only had one other. I hated how my 510 PCC always rattled. Heavy sucker in a polo shirt pocket, too.

I just got my VK PCC a few days ago so still fumblin' around. The light closest to battery is always red, whether or not there's a bat in it. Rut-ro?

Also, a stoopid question... Does it matter which position the bat is in while charging? Ie. sticking straight up or laying down flat?

Some days I miss my mind the most.

 

[Taryn]

Bump so someone who knows about PCCs helps out!

 

[sawlight]

I'd say it's toast Bluesuede. The light closest to the battery should only come on when a battery is charging.

 

[Pawpaw]

I'll second what sawlight said. It must be bad.

Send an email to mark@vaporlife.com

He will fix you up.

 

[bluesuede]

Noooo... I just got it! Bwaaaa!!!!

Comforts, but you know that they will take good care of you!

Could be something wrong with the light, as in "stuck". I'm gonna vape a bat dry and try charging and see what happens.

Since we're talking about electronics, anything is possible.

Even if it charges a battery, let Mark know. You can do it by email or put a note in the comments section of your next order.

The V4L crew wants you to be SMILIN!

 

[bluesuede]

Thanks, I will, Pawpaw... Too much going on with baking, cooking etc. right now. Merry Christmas to all of you here.

My bottom light goes off when the battery is done, and blinks back on every now and again.

I usually just leave a battery charging when i go to bed then take it out when i wake up.

 

[bluesuede]

My bottom light is on (red) whether empty or not... Maybe I should tap it gently.
