Nitecore Intellicharger

[Ryan Kelly]

hey guys. i ordered my first mech mod today along with some efest 18650 button tops .i was reading that it is dangerous to charge these batteries above 4.2 volts or below 3 volts. i went with the nitecore intellicharger i2 for charging. does this charger automatically know how to keep the battery at 4.2 max/3.0 min, or do i need to manually make sure that it is charged to the right voltage. idk how i could possibly know what voltage the battery is at so I'm assuming this charger can do that for me but in the event that i am wrong i just wanted to hear your guys thoughts. i have never owned and barely used a mech mod before. i am extremely excited but i want to make sure that i am vaping in a safe manner. thanks guys!!!

The Nitecore will charge it to the correct voltage and then quit charging it.

I don't use an Nitecore, but i've always heard that they are good chargers...

This is a little off topic, but since you bought a Nitecore and seeing that going mech may eventually lead you to Sony VTC batteries, i'm fairly sure you'll want an answer to this as well.

I was at a venders site looking at Sony VTC4 and noticed the following note: "Note: For safety reasons, we recommend customers do not charge this battery in Nitecore Intellichargers. We highly suggest users only use Xtar brand chargers that are compatilbe for this type of battery as Xtar's can handle the charging load. Please reference your chargers manual to ensure compatability."

Does anyone know why a Nitecore shouldn't be used for VTC4s? This is more out of curiousity than anything else because VTCs are very popular and I happen to use them as well...

I have a Nitecore i2 and Sony VTC3 batteries. (VTC4s coming in vapemail any day now) The charger has been working perfectly with them. I check the battery voltage every time before & after charging, and every time the Nitecore gets them to exactly 4.20 volts.

I'm using a Nitecore i2 and VTC4/VTC5 batteries - never any issue, at least as far as my Harbor Freight multimeter is concerned - they charge to 4.20-4.24 every time through a dozen or so charge cycles (noob alert, if that might invalidate my findings).

I've been charging my VTC4 and VTC5 batteries on my intellicharger i2 for months now and never had any issues to date. Also never heard about not using the intellicharger to charge the Sony batteries.

The Sony batteries don't need anything different regarding a charger. The nitecore should suffice

Hmmm.... follow the money, who makes and sells the Xtar charger?
