Problem with AW IMR 18650

[popster]

hey guys, just want to ask a bit about the aw imr 18650 3.7v 2000mAh. i bought one 2 days ago and used it straight on my vamo.i remembered reading the battery's power at 4.0 and it lasted me around a day and a half maybe before my vamo says low power.i charged it on a trustfire multicharger for around 3-5 hours before the led turns green.problem is,when i put it back in the vamo, it reads around 3.7v only.i tried charging it for a couple of minutes more,but the led on the charger still flashes green and i'm afraid that maybe i have overcharged it.could anyone comment about this.i'm trying to maximise the usage of this battery and not buy a new one in just a couple of months just because i overcharged it.thanks

It may be your charger is a bit wonky.
I use this for a charger http://www.orbtronic.com/batteries-...tellicharger-universal-battery-charger-sysmax

Totally plug and play - no settings needed.
I have a Vamo and it shouldn't allow you to over - discharge the batt (unless your Vamo is a bit wonky)

A full charge is 4.2v.

Have you used the charger with other batteries and checked the voltage after charging?

If you have a multi-meter, check the output voltage of your charger. It should be 4.2v. Something tells me: A) your charger is malfunctioning or:B) your Vamo is malfunctioning.

I used the charger specifically for my IMR's only.I have checked the voltage after charging,and it always reads around 3.7

seriously?? haha,hopefully it's the charger that's malfunctioning,because i just got my vamo just around a week ago and it has performed quite well for me

Have you cleaned your vamo? I had to clean my provari last night. Battery was reading 4.0 before. After cleaning it read 4.2. Just a q tip with rubbing alchahol on the battery cap, spring, tube and positive post in the tube. I would assume this is your issue. A multimeter would help though

A vaper without a multi-meter is like a doctor without a stethoscope, can't diagnose nothing Your vamo may not be indicating accurately. Never send a boy to do a man's job
