My bad mik, I thought you did design these buddy sorry I was thinking this was the Tesla cart you've been working on, shows I'm not up to date with Janty, while I'm here what will Janty's price be on the new Batts and are the specs on these Batts on you sight as far as mAh and other things, has anything else changed beside adding the USB port. Lastly when is this tesla cart going to be out you have been working on for a long time, I was looking forward to seeing the finished product.??

I was getting a little nervous, going on vacation next week and wanted to get an extra set to share, was seriously thinking of ordering from another site, I think I can hold out for another day. Please keep us updated.

...what are the specs on these Batts as far as mAh and other things...

Janty eGo USB battery - 650mAh

Length:
Janty eGo USB battery - 8.4cm
(standard Janty eGo batt - 7cm)

To charge/use:
Unscrew logo cap, and plug in USB cable to port.
End lights up red, and goes out when charged.

Usage of battery is possible while charging.

It's possible to charge the Janty eGo USB battery with normal eGo charger?
Or only with the new USB port?

 

[stubear62]

This is the new version and its best to charge with the USB. The older version is best to charge with the eGo quick charger..

Do you know the difference in charging times?

 

[stubear62]

not sure switched. We know the eGos on the USB (Quick charger) is 1 1/2 to 2 hrs.. I haven't found out what the new batts hooked straight to the USB would be.. I would say the same if you can hook it up to the USB charger like the old style.. But this way you can use it while charging..

Also, I'm getting the cartos for the eGo and will let you know on my show this Thursday night how they are..

 

[Switched]

I expect a good 2.5-3hrs with the new ones on the quick charger (guestimate) and a whole lot longer than that of USB, if the eGo batt is an good example of USB with reported times nearly dble. Mind you, you can vape while charging, but it also extends the charging time.

Wonder why they recommend the USB and not the QC? I know charging slower= better. I am looking at battery packs vice PC.

Electronic.styxs has them in stock, but no specs?

 

[stubear62]

Switched, the mah on these are the same as the reg eGo we got in the begining. 651mah.. just this was redone to house the mini usb charger plug-in in the front. This is why I would say its the same and I don't know if the cable is longer or the same, but if its longer I will relocate my plug-in charger closer to me and use this to charge the new battery. I'm due to get a new battery and will be getting these.

It is possible to charge it any which way you want. USB cable, or the normal ego charger.

 

[Switched]

Mik,

Is that cable a standard USB cable & fitting, except angled?

 

[Mik_Janty]

To my knowledge, yes!

Thanks for the replies.

 

[Switched]

To my knowledge, yes!

Cool! I prefer my cord coming straight out.

 

[stubear62]

Hey switched,
Hopefully the cable will come out straight but not in the pic's provided. Its like the stick with the 90 degree angle..
I will also say I got the 2 cartos..
Hmmm..

 

[googled]

Will Janty be supplying spare dust caps for when I inevitably lose mine?

 

[Ethan_Janty]

Googled,
Good question, I'm actually going to be inquiring about the same thing. I haven't lost mine yet, but like you, I'm sure it's bound to happen at some point, much like the screw tops on the Janty Sticks. I will be ordering extras if they are indeed available, which I would think they will.

I'll make a post once I get an answer from the big boss man

ego usb is use Li-po battery right?it's mean can't change battery inside(like stick). i think may be should Li-on14500 and can change battery, it's better than in long term for end-user.

This has been discussed over and over, and no. It is better for the end user to get our own custom made battery, than a 14500 - which is an overrated battery, of low to medium quality.

The reason the eGo is so good, is partly because of its own battery - thats where it gets its high battery life from - if we were to put a 14500 in there, you would _NOT_ get as long battery life, not to mention the design could not be so small and sleek.
