Pila charger question

[oplholik]

It's with all my different batts. Granted some of my batts are older, but all batts are less than a year old, except for a couple of TF's. Most are AW's, and having new batts doesn't seem to make a difference. Except for the TF's, all my batts charge just fine on the xtar.

tyvm for your replay. thought maybe the 14500 were too short for the Pila, but i also use some magnet spacers so they fit propperly this way, or that the magnets influence the charging process...dunno just random thinking...well, have a new Pila on the way and also orderd an xtar to be sure well, have to wait till they arrive to see how things will work out. thank you again.

One thing to try is to unplug the charger then clean the battery and charger contacts with a pencil eraser. Sometimes you can build up a bit of junk/oil on contacts.

oh that one i didn't heard of so far, i cleaned all contactpoints in the Pila, both ends of the batteries and the magnet spacers with cottontips dipped i vodka...hmm, wonder if i even have a pencil eraser that still isn't dyed out, nowadays with the computer...

As stated above, pencil erasers work great for cleaning contacts.

I ran across this thread in the candlepower forums and thought I'd post the link here. An interesting read. This is just an FYI, take from it what you will.
