What charger are you guys using ?

[Karstine]

Well Lipo batteries can be externally charged by a balanced Lipo charger ( any RC shop should sell this) . Its also quite troublesome to pull out the batteries as it involves cables. DNA200s also charge at 1A ( and i think only vaporshark and another brand does 2A)

That's why i mentioned most DNA200s have a balanced charger board on board which will balance the 3 cells in the lipo which is pretty safe.

BUT one thing i stress if you do have a DNA200, please set up the battery properly in E-scribe. I know most manufacturers do not set this up by default and you risk damaging your battry if it goes too low. you can also set the charging screen correctly to show the charge percentage and amps being fed to the lipo. for the last few %, it will usually go down to 0.1-0.5 to balance the cells.

Thanks for the tip man! Lipo is a little unfamiliar to me as 18650 is more common but if I wanted to get a dna200 (most of them uses the Lipo) I need to learn more about it man

Agree with all that but not all built in Lipo batteries can be removed or externally charged except by USB - think Vaporshark DNA30 or even the Eleaf isticks.

@Bobw1951 Good point on that.

Lets fix this by this one line.

This only applies to User removable batteries.

Wah, Didn't know so serious. Would play it safe and get an external one and get more batteries for when I'm out and about for long periods then.

What mod are you using ?

 

[Imperialchugger]

Nitecore D4 for the win. Has night mode and safe charge. It a muz haz

Authentic nitecore has a authenticity check. Make sure the reseller is reliable.

 

[Aemlus]

All mighty D4 Nitecore

 

[Monkey.D.Kyno]

Im using subox nano~ hahaha thats why puzzled. for now i dun have external charger~ need to use alternative

 

[Cyrotek]

well you can continue to charge it using the mod itself and may think about an external charger down the road when you have spare batts as well. Just don't leave it charging overnight.

Using Xtar VC2 Plus Master since I only use mods with 18650 batteries

There is a shrine dedicated to the D4 Nitecore on one of our Southern Islands..

Nitecore - 2x D2's and 1x i2 - Why only the 2 bays? Because they fit my 26650's side by side. The i4's and D4's had an issue with charging my 26650's side by side - like there was no room in each of the bays to put 4 26650's in at the same time. Which when you're me... and you love your 26650 battery type... and you batteries don't fit inside the charger... you get cranky. And when Weaver gets cranky... people vanish without a trace.

Nitecore D4 at home, Soshine single charger when travel.
I also DIY a backup using a charger module purchase at FT.
