Also remember, a bad atty will horse a battery quick...so check & make sure the atty is working fine too...do this by taking the cart off & pressing your battery button & look to make sure its glowing...some call it a quick dry burn..don't do this for very long, but you can see how it glows ...or not so much
Michelle,
First, have you gotten a full charge on the PCC before? And are you sure they were fully charged when you took them pff the PCC? Last. do you have another charger to check the batteries on?
Remember, to charge the batts in the PCC you have to enter charging mode by pressing the button for three seconds, until the LCD display flashes and the e-cig led lights up and stays lit. When the e-cig is full the LCD will flash again and will display three bars. and the e-cig led will go out.

Yes to all Leaf. Charged it again to see if it was just a glitch...
Oh I do not have another charger for them, other than a 510 one with adapter. They charge there but not fully.. Do you think it could damage them??

I'm wondering if it's the PCC. I just got my 2nd PCC yesterday. I put a battery in there last night, set it to charge, and this morning it's still not fully charged. I have in on the AC adapter now charging it the rest of the way. I'll let you know how much longer it takes.
Update: It took another hour to fully charge the battery on the AC adapter. I am now recharging my PCC, even though I thought it was fully charged, and then I'll give that a try again. See if it works.

I just got a mini PCC a couple of days ago and did some tests so I would know what to expect from it. Here's what I ended up with:
Started with a fully charged PCC and two fully drained batteries: 1st battery recharged in about 2.5 hours, 2nd battery recharged in about 2.25 hours, and third battery charged for about 1.5 hours before PCC died; battery required about 45 minutes on USB charger to completely charge. PCC itself took about 2.75 hours to recharge.
Trial #2: 1st recharged in about 2:05, 2nd took about 1:50, and third charged for about 45 minutes before PCC died then took 1:10 on the USB charger to complete. The PCC itself recharged via USB in about 2:35.
So it looks like about 2 1/2 mini battery charges per full PCC charge.

I've gotten three full charges. Four is pushing it; the PCC will die before fully charging the battery.
Leaford, if you remember the issues I had when I first got my mini PCC, I think Michelle is having the same issue. There are times when I can press the button for as long as I like and charging doesn't initiate.
Michelle, try taking the white battery out of the back of the PCC and letting it sit for a little while (15 minutes) and then returning it to the PCC. That usually seems to "reset" the PCC so that it will charge batteries again. You should be getting hours of vaping out of these batteries, unless you really chain-vape, because I vape all day on two batteries and I tend to chain it.
What? Seriously?
Hmm but I dont have any issues with getting them to charge in it..
Ok so something else happenend. YOu know when a batt is dead and you stick it in the pcc and it reads 2 bars for the batt even tough its dead? Well last nightI put Red in before it was comepletely dead and it read it as having 1 bar!! This pcc has a mind of its own guys....I had a wall adapter, I put the pcc's usb in, but have started charging it directly on the com's usb port, to eliminate any probs with diff kind chargers and only charge batts in pcc... In an hour or so I should be able to tell if batts hold up longer...
Griffin: How long does it take then to drain your batts?
I'd say that it takes me about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of pretty heavy vaping to drain my 78mm batteries. Or, looked at another way, about one complete freshly opened MaxxFusion carto and up to a quarter or third of another.
It occurs to me that tracking battery life by juice throughput probably makes the most sense because everyone vapes at different rates. A battery that last me, a heavy/chain vaper, only two hours might last a normal human being all day...
Good idea to judge battery life by how many cartz you go through, smart thinkin'!
Cant do that cus keep them fairly low on juice so no leaking.... fill 2-3 times on a batt. But if chain vaping gives u under 2 hours on a reg batt, then it makes sence..
