Question for the PCC owners, ??????

[V4Lis4me]

Well i recieved my PCC about 4 or 5 days ago. I have read all the threads on the explanation of the lights in relation to the charging of the case and the battery, and understand that just fine....

My question (to those who own, or use one) is that i have noticed in mine that it will not "top off" a battery charge. I must use the battery for quite some time before the bottom led will not just blink when the battery is screwed in, but rather remain solid as to show that it is charging....

Now i can take the same battery that has had a session or two on it and screw it into the case, and get no additional charging.... just the blinking led....
Yet if i screw that same battery into the wall charger, it instantly turns red and charges for a while..


so it seems as if the pcc wont "top off" the battery, but waits until it is quite low before it recognizes that it needs to be charged...


...just wondering for those who have one, if this is how it normally works?

Yup mine does that to. It does keep a battery charged though so the way I do it is take two batteries. One in the pcc and one that I am using. I use one batty till it is dead and then trade places with battys and I always have a charged batt.

thanks for the response.....

ive just been taking one batt, and letting it die down (always screwing it in though) before it would take the charge....


on a side note, have you noticed that the PCC wont fully charge a batt???

...i put one on the wall charger, after the pcc had charged it... and it still took some additional charging...... not much, but some indeed....
but then again, nothings gonna beat a wall charger i suppose!

This is exactly why I recently ordered an extra 2 wall chargers. Neither the PCC nor the USB chargers seemed to fully charge my batts (even after leaving batt in chargers overnight). Some other posters have said it also might be the batt's connection/holes need cleaning too though.

all of my chargers are fairly new, as i have only been vaping for i think 2 weeks or so.....
so the connections arent an issue on the chargers,
and i have noticed the same thing all around!!!

.... the wall charger rocks, hands down.... over all others!

My PCC seems to charge them to full, with the blinking light. But what I've noticed is after my battery has been on the wall charger the hits are a lot better than a PCC charge.

I just carry my PCC with a charging batt in case of emergency. That way I always have a fully charged battery in case I am detained running around or something. And if I do have to use the battery in the PCC, I screw in my extra long so it can start charging - can't close the case, but it does charge it. I never want to be without a charged battery!
