Pila Charger + AW P18650 2600 mAh

[CromsDog]

If anybody else is running this combo I was just wondering what you are getting for voltage fresh off the charger. I am getting between 4.17 and 4.194 every time (mostly 4.17). I have yet to see it hit 4.2. I know this is very piddly and not a major concern (The major concern would be if it was overcharging past 4.2) but I just thought it was weird. All of my AW P18500 bats came off between 4.19 and 4.2. Every single time.

I am also having an issue with one channel having to be reset before it will start charging. That is something that has always happend on all my batteries. Every third time or so I will put in a battery out of my mod and it will light green. I then have to hold the reset button and it will flick red and start doing it's thing.

I'd like to hear some of y'all's experiences with the Pila and see if they match mine. Thanks

Maybe that happens if your batts are a bit old ?

I use the pila charger and the imr 18350 and 650 batts and I have never once seen any battery charge all the way up to 4.2. I think it is something to do with the pila's safety features, but the same goes for my ultrfire I never see them come off the charger at 4.2, they get close but not all the way.

The batteries in question are brand new. I just got them last week. All of my P18500 bats seem to go up to 4.19 and sometimes come off at 4.194 or above. These new 18650's come off less though. Anyway I was just wondering.

It could be the actual battery, maybe something to do with each one being slightly different, but I am no batt expert.

Mine have never gone beyond 4.17 either. I think that is a safety feature. Most time I get 4.15

Thanks guys. Seems like that's how these roll so I'm happy.
