x-tar charger

[esmecullen]

I bought one of these to charge my batteries from Vape Escape this week and just want to know I'm doing things right, as it seems very quick at charging the batteries (1hr 30mins for one)

The light on the plug stays green?
when the battery is charged the light on the charger turns from red to green?

I know people will say read the manual......... but the manual is very limited and I cant seem to find one on line............ I must be a dork lol!!!

Sounds exactly like mine Esme, I use mine mostly for charging 18350s and it doesn't take long at all

[esmecullen]

Thanks Ellen.......... I was worrying that something may be wrong with it lol......... I charged one of my provari batteries and I was just so surprised that it was so speedy

I should have got one of these in June lol

Don't worry esme, I couldn't make head nor tail of the X-tar instructions when I got it either! Blummin Chinglish

Do have a look at the top of it, next to the output socket. For most batteries and especially 18350s and other smaller ones, I believe it's best to have the switch set to 0.5 (in the middle)

[esmecullen]

thanks Karma........ yes I did have the switch on in the middle, must have lost track of time, wow it is fast though

I know what you mean with the chinglish lol

I find with a dead battery (set in the middle) it'll take around 1-2 hours to re-charge on an XTar. This morning bizarrely it only took around 45 minutes... Go figure.

I've got the SP2, middle setting on this is 1amp.

I couldn't say if it's a quick charge or not as i've never timed it & i haven't really used anything else to compare it against.

Sorry, I have the WP211, i think? and the middle setting is 0.5!

Which model X-tar have you got Esme?

I've got the same as you Karma and yes the middle setting is 0.5

If you only just got it it will be the latest one, but there will be a fast and a not so fast, but still fast ;0) setting on it, mine is the older version so i can't tell you which is which

Oh no is Andy drunk again? He's rambling

[esmecullen]

thanks everyone

I'm just worrying unnecessarily being a techno-dumbo at times and just didnt think that it would be so fast charging

I bought one recently and found good instructions online I'll try find the link gain.

[ChillerVapes]

Whats the difference between these and the trustfire tr-001 ???

[Karma]

Esme, I only use the 0.5 setting even for my 18650s !

I think there's a reason for it, Gordy will know, ask him
