LGHE2 and Nitecore D2

[Stalker79]

Hello everyone, I bought 4 pieces of LGHE2 18650 High Drain 2500 mAh batteries and a Nitecore D2 charger. Can anyone tell me how long does it take to fully charge a pair of this brand new batteries with the charger please? I know this charger will automatically stop charging when the battery is full but I still don't wanna leave these batteries with the charger for too long when they're full. Any advice would be nice. Thanks.

It usually takes me about 3-4 hours to fully charge my batteries, I have an i2 intellicharger along with Sony VTC4's. I would expect your charging times to be similar.

thanks for your input, CampbellMC...

the Intellicharger stops applying current once the battery has reached full capacity....

yeah Bunnykiller, I just don't wanna overly rely on it. Just in case. lol

nitecore and xtar chargers stop the charging when baterries reach 4.2 Volt. I use Efest,VTCs,LG,Samsung all day and before i go to sleep i put them for charging and find them charged at the morning. A good charge will never give up!

Most 18650/18500/18490 or other large cells, 14500 included and all other variations charge one cell in about 3 to 4 hours. You can check the manual to see what the charger says for the common charge time

thanks Steam and Lova. i just charged both of those batteries. it took about 3.5 hours to get them fully charged. one more question, how long can i keep them in fully charged condition before using them?

3-1/2 hours is about the norm for me on either the i4 or the D2, I have both.

As for shelf life... I don't know the exact shelf life but I have batteries that have set for several weeks and still been at full charge when I went to use them.

thanks Equilibrium, few weeks will be more than enough for my new mod arrival.
