nano charger - more no than na

[souporvapor]

Hi incredibly talented, mechanically inclined gods and goddesses of the vaping world

Technically challenged 51 yr old female with 'charging' problems here.

No, this has nothing to do with hormones......
it's the dang nano chargers and their refusal to cooperate with my SD bats.

My first one doesn't seem to EVER change from red to green while charging.

As of today - the one received about 2 wks ago seems 'think' it's cool to misbehave and is emulating the first.

I discovered that if I press lightly on the positive end of bat while in charger the light turns green.

That is all I know.
I have no meters - multi or otherwise. And while old and finding my hair is turning silver - would still like a bit of a charge out of life...
and these blasted nano chargers.

When ordering them I looked for a better charger - jumping from 4/5$ to what I think was over $30 wasn't in the budget.

Is there a nano charger mod that will magykally fix this?
or somewhere I can pick up a moderately priced charger?

Thanks in advance

I've got a pile of those lil chargers, try putting a rubber band around the positive side of the battery and charger (it helps apply pressure), that helped with a couple of mine. Seems the solder that makes contact when you open the plug is lacking a bit in some.
good luck and when all else fails, order a few from DX. The multicharger from trustfire will charge those batts also and it's under 10 bucks from dx.

When I was using my SD in my truck. I wrapped a strip of black electrical tape sround the charger and the battery. It was to keep the battery from bouncing out. It also held good contact for it though.

Thank you for the ideas.
Checked the 2nd charger about a 1/2 hour ago and 'we've got green'. So I guess I jumped the gun on it.
Will try the rubber band and/or tape ideas to see if I can get the other to work.

Also just got another charger with a classified purchase - it will do two bats at a time
YES!

Thanks again
