I'm going to be buying a Vision Spinner 900 or 1300mAh, and I have a question...

[DEAc23]

Ok, like the title says I am about to buy a Vision Spinner, with a gift certificate I won in an ECF contest , and I am trying to figure something out...

I currently have two eGo chargers (both the same), and I need to know if they would work with the Spinner. I took a couple pictures of the info written on the wall adapter and the eGo connector...



If you can't see it in the pictures here are the specs:

Wall Adapter
Model: KNC015E-050050U
Input: 100-240V AC - 50/60Hz 0.1A Max
Output: 5V===0.5A

eGo Connector
Model: UC4631
Input: DC 5V
Output: 4.2V 0.4A

I'm still not very knowledgeable on this subject, and I just wanted to be sure I can use the above charger with the Spinner 900mAh or 1300mAh. Also, I'm not too worried about how long they will take to charge, as this will only be for quick trips out of the house (so I can charge it at home while using my MVP 2 or SVD).

Oh and I would also love to see pics of the 900/1300mAh spinners with different tanks, especially the Stainless Steel versions.

Any input is appreciated!

I don't have a Spinner but see absolutely no reason why they wouldn't work. It;' the right voltage and same connector.

The difference between the chargers is so minimal, I would treat them the same. I'm sorry I can't help with the pics but there are a number of 'mini' atties in the market that fit flush on the eGo type batteries and look quite neat.

Buy a vision spinner 2 you will love that battery much much more than the vision spinner 1 thay really dont even compare much better

Those chargers will work with any eGo battery. Be sure to use a USB/wall adaptor like common cell phones use for the charger, and not use a computer or automobile USB port as these could have too much or too little output for the charger/battery.

Below are a couple of pics with an ego Spinner or Twist with a variety of tanks on top.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone!

So I shouldn't use the wall adapter I posted a picture of? I have a couple cell phone wall adapters I can use, but wasn't sure if they would be too powerful for an eGo.

EDIT - If it matters the wall adapter I use with my cell phone says - Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.16A and Output: 5.0V 1.0A

I have Vision spinners along with various other ego type batteries. What you have will work just fine with your new spinner batteries. I can't speak for bad but I think he was saying "don't charge your batteries by plugging them into your computer. The wall wart you have should be fine.

Awesome, thanks!

Yes, what you have will work just fine. I have lots of spinners and use the same things to charge them.

Someone else mentioned the Spinner II. I have 3 of them and 3 of the original spinners. I love them all the same. The spinner II has a little more battery life, and there is a light indicator for battery life. Those are the only difference, to me, they perform the same otherwise.

Yes... Bad was Saying that Using a USB Port on a Computer/Laptop or one in a Car should be Avoided. And that One should use a Wall Wart and then plug the eGo Charger into it.

BTW - I got Sick of Having a Drawer full of Wall Charges. And Having to do the Tetris Puzzle Solution every day to get them to fit in the Combinations and Permutations of charging Multiple USB Devices.

So I bought one of these and it Works Great.

You just plug it into a Grounded Wall Outlet and leave it.
