Usb fast charger or wall charger?

[Hrtbrkr1965]

Was wondering if a Usb fast charger or wall charger is better to charge with? Didn't know if the long slow wall charge might prolong them or if they are both the same?
Trying to learn as much as I can to prolong my equipment life! Any input or advice would be appreciated!
Posted this in another thread but no answer so am trying here!

Recommended charge rate for most Li batteries is 1C. That equates to the capacity in ma.
I.E. a 650ma batt should be charged at 650ma, max. Chargers are programmed to reduce that
in approaching a full-charge state.

What PV are you charging?
(The ego fast charger is known to destroy 510 batteries. The 510 charger takes much longer to charge an ego battery and doesn't seem to help the battery in any way.)

It will be a Riva but my wife uses a joye 510! I know the joye batteries are small but i killed 2 of them this month!

Unlikely a joye510 batt will last long charging at 3C, as you discovered, and can be dangerous to do so.

joye510 charger = 150ma // Riva/eGo charger = 420ma

Charging rate lower than 1C is not a problem, just takes longer.
