Hang on just a sec. We're mixing up apples and oranges. There's a big difference between mAh and mA.

True... I got caught up in making sure I was typing "mAh" when needed and forgot to leave the "h" off when it wasn't needed. :)

The way one of these batteries charge, they accept a certain voltage and then accept a flow of current. That current should ramp up pretty quickly to its maximum the battery accepts and then be sustained at that rate until the battery is fully charged. ...
The battery under charge will only accept what it needs, for a Volt 78mm, this will be abt 120mA tops.

As I understand most cases, the charger determines the applied voltage and current - though chargers can be completely "dumb" if the battery is "smart"... or both, or vice versa.

Hmmm... Maybe' that's part of the problem with the Mega PCC, if it's quasi-smart. I seem to recall Imagine saying the Volt batteries would shut off their own charging when the cycle is complete; is there a chance the "smarts" of the PCC and the battery just weren't working together very well? It might come to nothing but I wonder what the current output of that PCC would be with a completely "dumb" unregulated battery... or if the "smarts" of the PCC were bypassed and the Volt battery was in left in charge of its own cycle.

Regardless, I was assuming the Volt batts were 3-cell NIMH which should be able to take up to 1C as long as charging time is controlled, but I haven't had the heart to take apart a working battery to find out. :) But anything C/2 or lower should be fine given correct voltage and enough time.

I'm lurking around waiting for a green battery to appear on the SI website!! Still nothing! Where are you????

Anyway, I decided the Freedom eliquid isn't for me - just couldn't take to it. I have the 30ml bottle minus about 1.5ml - any trades? Might want to also PM me so I don't miss a response!

This thread is difficult to keep up with! Still in the process of moving so I'm not on everyday...suddenly 20 pages of posts to go through! :) eh, fun reading material! I'm caught up!

edit: The Freedom is 12mg :vapor:

All in All I'd have to say that the manufacture should already be on top of this subject....
I remember the old kr808 and the old PCC....
either plugged into the wall or the PCC, the batt was fully charged for me IMO. Even though the batt at the time was only 90mah

That's really all I want in a PCC. CHARGE MY BATTERIES!!!!

I have the mega PCC and I with it, I have to press the button 3 separate times to fully charge 1 78mm batt.

So does anyone want to trade me for my Mega PCC - don't want the new one coming out or anything just don't want the Mega anymore.....
laurae09...:laugh: I was going to offer you mine but keep it!! It might be worth a ton of money one of these days:lol: I still use mine all the time but I just have to keep pushing that button all the time.
Hey,... that rhymed... I should have posted this in the contest thread:laugh:


I like it the way it is...the design of the mega PCC I'm hoping the internal batt can be up graded....

Well I still need to work on the contest, haven't found my creative self yet:) I'm going to get a pcc but think the smaller one will work better for me at this point. Hey...dont' pick on 'The Help'..that's what we saw and we both enjoyed it. I like those type of movies though...Fried Green Tomatoes...Steel Magnolia (not hubby's favorite, but it was my birthday so he had to give in:)

Still stalking the website for the green and orange batteries...................

I don't really have the pushing the button all the time issue (65's) but I find I just charge all mine on the usb at night and throw them in my purse - just don't use it:)

hi guys,

our shipping carrier repacked everything after customs opened it and went through it...so now the batteries when they came at 4pm were all over the place... we now have to check by hand every battery LED to see which color it is and do a hand count....Sorry but they will prob not be up until tomorrow evening.

Oh my! That's just awful *cough - hilarious *. Did I say that out loud? Some fine steel wool and a little elbow grease would transform that into a shiny, stainless steel passthrough. It'd probably show the teeth marks though ...

Actually, with - YOUR - excellent talents :thumbs:and one of special "treaments" :thumbs: . . .

You could probably bring it back to "LIFE" . . . View attachment 51048


What do you say . . . :unsure:


Maybe "Image" would send the pass-thu to you to see what you come up with (HINT ;) HINT ;)) . . .

IMO - If it is not against any of the :rules:- Why don't YA . . . It just might win ;)

NOT Only do I agree with you - I too like the design MEGA PCC . . . View attachment 51059


AND - That's exactly what I am waiting to hear - :thumbs: that the internal battery can be upgraded :thumbs:- from either "SteelJan" or "Vapian" . . .

More importantly, like so many other people, I really can't afford to buy just another PCC when I already have one, especially when it is the only piece of equipment that came with my Volt Kit to charge the batteries . . .:)

yeah we received that as a return....we were taking bets on what happened to it!! haha... Tyler thinks it was dragged by a car haha

WOW :shock:
and that's not for the condition but for the fact I've never noticed a usb passthrough on the site...

My second order from SI should get here tomorrow.... pink, purple and yella batts. I can't wait.

I keep checking their site, I need blank cartos and they still show 'out of stock'. Hope they have some in soon.
Ooh, I LOVE the yella batt! It's my favorite! I dress like a beatnik/ninja all the time (all black) and it makes me feel like BRUCE LEE!

I'd be game, but I "Imagine" that would be up to SI. I don't have black vinyl to make it look even remotely like it originally did. But if they're looking for someone who'd want to adopt it, I don't have a passthrough for the Volt. Wonder if it even still works ...
