Overcharged batteries

[dale1962]

I accidently charged 2 haoba lifepo4 3v batts on my HG 1210W Charger on the wrong setting at 4.2v instead of 3.6v and slapped them on meter and they are reading almost 4.2v...will they be alright to use or what should I do?TIA, Dale

Personally, I would dispose of them. Why risk anything...your mod, your charger....over a few bucks in batteries.

I would let either let them sit until they dropped in volts to around 3.6v or discharge them away from my face until they are there..I might discharge them by taping on a led out of an old e cig and leave them on the garage floor or outside..I would also watch them closely for issues the next couple charges after that...

Dale1962, At the cost of those batteries I would personally throw dispose of them. Not really worth the risk. Just my opinion though.

 

[dale1962]

Thanks for replies after hearing this they are history.......do u think it could have effected my charger in anyway?

 

[dale1962]

I was getting ready to toss the 2 batts and thought I would check them on the meter 1 more time and they read 3.6v now down from 4.2v overnite now I don't know if want to toss them or not maybe somebody with more knowledge on batts will chime in....

you could always ask on one of the other threads. They might know

Dale, with all we've heard about battery failures lately, is it really worth risking injury or a fire? Those batteries cost $4.

Oh I know Jim I disposed of them..........

Ultrafire Protected 16340/RCR123A 3.0 V Li-Ion I charged these batts on this charger AG-126 Lithium Ion Battery Charger Hadn't used these batts in awhile but was running low on batts so got them out of my older stash and charged them on charger listed...came of charged at 4.2v after an hour checked them and now they read 3.6v.Did I overcharge them since they are 3v batts?I thought I use to charge them on this charger but can't remember so before I use them thought I would ask someone with knowledge.Thanks for any info.

I thought you had to use this charger for those bats Haoba 3 volt RCR123a LiFePO4 Charger

You do lynch for the haoba LiFePO 3v batts the one's I am talking about are the ultrafire 16340 3v batts.Madvapes had these 3v batts long before the haoba one's came along.And if memory serves me correctly I believe I use to charge them with stated charger but charging them to 4.2v intially seems to high even though they do drop quickly back to 3.6v.Mainly been using the haoba and AW's for 6v vaping but as mentioned earlier running low on batts and have had these as backup for awhile and now need to use them till get more batts.

check the battery specs on the web. There will be a charge voltage and current. If the charger is higher than that, you cold be looking at a bad situation with the batteries.
