My New Spinner Batteries Just Arrived!! But question on charging??

[lilmrsyeti]

I just received my 3 Vision batteries and 2 Kgo chargers... hoosierecig doesn't have Ego chargers, just the Kgo...They came with no instructions...I hooked 2 batteries to their chargers...the little light on the charger is red, but flashes green every once in awhile...here's what I'm not for sure about. The light on the one BATTERY...the part you hold in to take a drag, is lit up and staying white on one battery, but the other battery, is not on or shinning. What does this mean, if anything? Also, will the charger light go to solid green when its done charging? Do these have an auto shut off when done charging? Meaning can I charge them at bedtime and not have to worry about them?

Please help!


Meant to add...tried calling hoosiercig, but no answer...forgot about them being on Spring Break.

The little charger will turn green every now and then to measure the voltage on the battery, when it detects 4.2v or that area it will go solid green and stay. At this point they have stopped charging.

Its still recommended to not leave them on the charger over night, just in case, but a lot of people do. I recommend a Lipo Charging Bag just because they are an affordable insurance against any catastrophic event.

As for the battery light, I think that is a Vision specific feature? From reading it seems to be a normal feature. No idea why one is lit up and the other isn't. Is the light red on the charger that the dark one is hooked up to?

Here is some info on the light:

I have noticed lights on same Spinners do different things. I just wait for the charger to turn green.

My spinner also flashes between red and green when charging, but when fully charged it stays green.

Congrats on receiving your Spinners

I just received my 3 Vision Batteries and 2 Kgo chargers... hoosierecig doesn't have Ego chargers, just the Kgo...They came with no instructions...

Any eGo/ Kgo charger will work.

I hooked 2 batteries to their chargers...the little light on the charger is red, but flashes green every once in awhile...here's what I'm not for sure about. The light on the one BATTERY...the part you hold in to take a drag, is lit up and staying white on one battery, but the other battery, is not on or shinning. What does this mean, if anything?

When you plug your charger into the wall outlet it will be green. When the battery is screwed in the charger light will go red and the Spinner button will flash a few times and then go out. As the battery becomes charged the charger light will begin to flicker green/ red. When charger light is solid green the battery is fully charged.
The battery button, when vaping, should only light up when activated. When the button is not pushed down it shouldn't be lit. When the button flashes repeatedly it needs charging.
Be careful about dropping the batteries as they have electronics inside and are very sensitive to knocks and bumps. Also only finger tighten delivery devices (holds and vaporizes the juice) to the battery. Over tightening can sometimes either push the battery post down or push the battery connector on the delivery device down- this makes for a poor electrical connection.
Before charging battery clean battery post with a tissue. Every so often a good idea to clean battery post, threads, charger connection threads and delivery device threads with isopropyl.
When using the Spinner with diff juices try the voltage low and move it up until you find your "sweet spot". This "sweet spot" with vary with: diff juices and diff ohms of delivery devices.
Best of Luck.

My Spinner's fire button blinks when the charger is first connected with power, then stays lit until it is close to a full charge. Once it goes off I know that my battery will be fully charged soon.

I started out with a MyStart eGo charger from ecigcharleston and that thing would have my battery charged full in about 2-3 hours. I lost it last weekend somewhere in my band's tour van and couldn't find it before heading for home, so I went to the store and bought a replacement... I assume this one came from Smoktech as that's where most of this store's supply is coming from. Using this charger it takes forever, I haven't really had a chance to guage the time it is taking. I left it while I slept a few nights ago after having been plugged in for a couple hours before going to bed Slept my regular 5-6 hours, and found the charger still indicating it is charging. I found this to be very odd. I am wondering if my Spinner is going faulty already. That would be a bummer.
