kr8 charger question

[mystal]

I fell off the vape wagon for a good while and want to get back on it but I've forgotten something relatively silly - the light on the charger is green when its fully charged?? (I seem to remember leaving it on too long will suck the charge back out of it so I thought I should check) Also, is plugging the charger into the wall via an adapter any more efficient than just charging it through the computer's usb port?

thanks

Mine are red when charging and green when charged. They blink red/green when its getting close to full charge. I don't think it makes a difference what you plug the usb into.

green should mean fully charged and red should mean that it is still charging. as to whether there is a difference between the wall and computer it depends on your computer, some laptops don't put out the fully usb charging voltage over their usb ports in an effort to save on battery life, personally I fell like things charge faster connected to a wall brick anyway but I havent seen any testing to know for sure one way or the other.

Yes, when the light is green, it is fully charged, but leaving it in the charger after done charging will not hurt it. It does not suck the charge back out of it--you cannot overcharge these newer batteries.

Thanks so much for the replies. I have a couple of rechargables around here that are the exact opposite (my portable dvd player is one) so I just wanted to be sure. I can't afford any new batteries just now.
