OK, you guys? This morning, I decided to use Rich's 1 amp charger on my Disrupter. It was down by 3 bars, so not low, but I figured I'd see how long it took. So at 10:10 I plugged it in and right away, within about 10 or 15 minutes the 3rd to last bar reappeared, leaving two to go. About an hour later, around 11:20-ish, the green light was still on, but when I hit the fire button briefly to bring up the bars, it showed full. So I left it to see how long it would take for the green light to go out. At noon, I gave up and unplugged it, because the green light was still on. Does it take a LONG time to "finish up?" Or is it maybe just that this one in particular, the light doesn't go out when it's done charging?

What is everyone else's experience? If you've even noticed something this trivial. LOL!

It does take a long time to reach "full charge". When I got the Disrupter, it was almost a full charge. I plugged it in to fully charge it and just left it there. I think after about a couple of hours later, the light turned off.

And here I was, *thinking* I had been patient! :lol: Apparently, NOT! I think I missed getting my fair share when patience was being doled out! LOL! I was probably too impatient and got out of the line!

OK, next time, I will NOT TOUCH IT until the green light goes out. :)

Honestly, you don't necessarily need to wait until it is full....nearly full is good enough. You''re just talking of a difference of maybe 15-20 minutes more of battery life? I'm assuming that these batteries are similar to cell phone batteries in that as it approaches a full charge, the charging circuitry reduces the charge to a "trickle charge" so that it doesn't overcharge the battery. Some may say that not letting it fully charge every time will give you a longer life.

For anyone in the Philly area, found this ad on craigslist....some vape shop is selling an extra lot of Disrupters that they got. A total of 11 Disrupter mods and 11 Innocells. They're asking $374 for it.

So these don't have a "memory" to them, right? I'm going to show my age here. Although I've never had a cellphone, I used to work at a Motorola outlet that sold them (back in the late 90s), and we always told people they should charge their batteries fully, because if they didn't (or didn't discharge them fully, for that matter) they'd create a new "set point" and not charge or discharge past that point. But those were NiCads if I recall. I honestly don't even know what these mod batteries are. (Rich probably does, but I haven't asked him yet...)

No, the cells we use do not have a "memory", I don't think the newer cell phone cells have that either anymore.
