LG HE4 Problem

[jstrong]

Okay so I got 2 brand new LG He4's and I charged them and put them in my mod. I ran them down to about 50% and threw them on my Nitecore UM20 today. One battery is already 100% charged and the other is struggling to get past 60%. I put them on at the same time so they should have both finished equally. I got them from RTD Vapor. I wonder if I got a bad battery or something else has happened

Keyword, Nitecore.. Could be a bad battery but RTD is pretty legit when it comes to batteries. How old is the Nitecore?? A bunch of us have 'oddities' with ours. After two months mine decided to stop fully charging batteries so I stopped using it completely and went back to my 'cheapo' Xtar MC2, which takes em all right back up to 4.2 like it should.. I take it you dont have another charger to test it out with?

No I wish I did. I bought the Nitcore the same time as the batteries. IT charged my LG HE2's just fine and my Samsungs

Well, there's a reason that AW made their reputation by sampling/testing/rewrapping cells from other manufacturers. Not all batteries are created equal when they ship from the factory. Only the upper tier of batteries they tested earned the right to be sold as AW.

My guess is that particular LG battery is subpar.

Try the battery in both slots first..

It could be a bad cell, if it is rtd should do you right, but my nightcore acts wonky sometimes as well
