Mini PCC issue?

[whozshort]

Hey guys-

I just got my BMF yesterday, definitely the closest PV I've used to an actual cigarette! Effortless draw, plumes of vapor. I think I might be having an issue with the PCC though and wanted to see if others have experienced anything similar...

When I put a battery in and charge it, when it's nearing the end of it's charging cycle, the LED on the battery begins to rapidly flicker on and off (not flashing but flickering) for about 2-3 minutes and then the LED blinks 3 times and goes off. As I understand it, the LED should remain steady on the battery until it is fully charged and then give the 3 blinks, and off. This is happening with both my batteries so I'm pretty sure something is up with the PCC.

Has anyone experienced this before?? I'm beginning to wonder whether the PCC is actually able to fully charge the batteries and why it's causing the LED to flicker for a few minutes on both batteries.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Cheers!

Yes, it happens sometimes. I think it reaches a state where it's 'almost fully-charged', and does the flickering thing. It's no big deal; I've seen it happening on and off for months with four different batteries, and they all work fine...and the mini-PCC is still going strong.

How tall are you?

(I've never noticed mine flicker, but I don't think I've EVER been watching when it blinked and went out, all of you're paint must have dried a while back, huh?)

5'7, and I had the PCC plugged into my comp while on ECF - the LED is bright and hard to miss!

Is it an issue if I put the bat in the PCC for longer then 3-5 hours?

It's fine. I do that regularly, leaving it overnight or carrying it during the day while I'm using the other one. It turns off when it is done charging so it's cool.
