Volt Charging Question

[Cyrus Vap]

Just checked my halo USB chargers and they are 5V and 150 mAh as well

Wtf. I've seriously had it with SI and Halo. If this is wrong I'm going to be making some angry phone calls today

Is this a play to decrease battery lifespan and get you to buy more of their gear?

I wouldn't think that's it, my Volt batteries are 8 months old and I only charge them with the Volt charger.

I'm very much of the same opinion there Kemosabe, which is why I get confused when I see questions like this asked. Morandir responded to it the next post down, but I'm thinking he must have missed the voltage of the Volt charger.

I have posted another question regarding chargers on that other thread, I am hoping someone can give me some peace of mind and tell me whether or not I'm going to blow up a batt or start my house on fire. ..... Morandir sir?

Something is certainly fishy my friends. I'm not surprised.

Question for the battery savy: If the output voltage of the USB is too high but the mAh are 'correct' does that hurt the battery?

Will have to get one of these and test them, all the gen 2 batts have on hand come up as their charge voltage off load with the multi I'm using, usually 4.17-4.23v CookDawg sir. If they have a new ic that stops them from overcharging that's all fine and well, unless it fails and how it handles that failure....

 

[Cyrus Vap]

Maybe that's the issue here. They use these chargers assuming there will be no failure due to an IC that 'should' step in and make sure it doesn't happen.

But still damn sloppy either way. Exactly what I've come to expect from Halo and SI

Every time the batteries have come off the charger they've been at 3.79v.

I use the Volt charger with the Volt batteries. I use an Ego charger with an Ego battery. If I had a
V4L battery I would use it with a V4L charger. To the best of my knowledge there has never been a report of any problems which makes it safer than two of my cars and a laptop. I've been using the same three batteries since 8/11 and they still perform like new. Many other users report the same experience. Until someone comes up with some kind of documented evidence to the contrary other than an opinion based on micro analysis of specs I find their track record to be anything but sloppy.

Charger issues aside they are quite sloppy. Won't muddy the waters in this thread with that anymore as it's off topic.

My apologies.
