I was wondering if anyone with some knowledge of the Joye eGo could lend me some advice? I already have, use, and love my eGo starter kit that was sent with 650 mAh batts. I was considering getting a 900 mAh or 1000 mAh batt. Will my charger that came with my starter kit ( 650 mAh batt) work with the 900 mAh and 1000 mAh batt?

Thank you for the assist!:laugh:

If depends. If you buy the same brand of battery, yes. But there is at least one stupid reverse polarity clone (Ego-J or something like that) and no way to tell if there are more idiot clones (like the stupid FS510 is reverse polarity so I don't know if FS Ego is too). If you happen to stick a reverse polarity battery in a normal polarity charger or vice versa - fried battery as in dangerous hot mess.

Just watch out for any warning notes that say a battery can only be used in its own charger even though it seems to be a copy of another more popular brand.

Dormouse you have always been availble for my information needs. Thank you so much! I plan on getting the name brand model. I have already saved enough by not using analogs that I think I can justify the real deal. Again thank you for being such a positive part of the ECF.:blush:
