Question about charging, please help.

[The_Hunter]

Alright guys, I just got my 1000mah vision wood spinner (in avatar) and I have a question about charging! It charges on a regular ego charger, which I have 2 of. I used the battery until completely dead, then hooked it up to charge. I have a 450mah charger and a 5v output wall adapter (the adapter has the potential to charge 2 USB ports at the same time). It charged in about 45 minutes. One hour at the absolute longest. Should I be worried? I understand that these batteries usually take 3 - 4 hours to charge. Am I just being paranoid, or is this likely a battery or charger malfunction? Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hunter.

I have 2 vision spinners and neither has taken much more than an hour to take a full charge.
Now my MVP 2 has taken 2-4 hours to take a full charge but there's a much larger battery
in it...

You're good... enjoy your Spinner... vape away!

I have an ego charger I use with an USB adapter wall plug. I drain mine till dead and when plugged in light is red and changes to green when dine. No problems in 6+ months with ego batteries.

Its a good idea to have at least two chargers. Not only is it good for backup but also to test against each other. With these kind of batteries, its not a good idea to let them drain completely. It will reduce its life. After a while you get to know your vaping style and when its time to charge without it completely draining. Myself, I don't need anything over 3.7 volts so VV is wasted on me. Lucky because I can use Joye C upgrades which gives a warning light by a change in button led light anywhere from 50% drained to 80% when I use it in the right mode for that.

I almost never let my batteries die. This was its first charge and I have heard that you need to run a battery all the way down in its first cycle. My egos have a warning light similar to that. Lol

This is nice to hear. A little relief lol. Also, looks like great minds think alike. I ordered an mvp v2 a few days ago

one thing to remember is the battery does not discharge to 0 volts, it only discharges down to 3.2 volts and then quits firing your atty so dead is not actually dead

Glad to hear this. I have several ego batteries and have been putting them on the charger when it seems I'm not getting good performance, even though the switch lights up and they are working. I like it much better when they are more fully charged. Good to know it's better for the batteries, too.
