Its arrived, few more questions

[shorty]

my starter kit arrived this morning, the eGo CE4 900mah, I ordered the blue one and love the look of it so thats a good start!

I stared at the packaging for 2 hours before opening it as i felt some unexpected panic at the thought this is hopefully the beginning of the end of my roll-ups

I really regretted this when i realised e batteries need an initial 8 hour charge wish i had opened it earlier!

Anyway, questions:

1. The instructions say to charge the batteries for 8 hrs on the initial charge even when they show green, ie fully charged, should i stick rigidly to this? (I am dying to put it together and have a go!)

2. When i first started charging the first one, the blue light was on indicating that the battery was turned on. Quite quickly (within 3 or 4 minutes) the battery light flashed a few times and then went out, i think it coincided with the charging indicator light changing from red to green. Is that normal? Should the battery itself be turned on or off while its charging?

3. Mains charging or USB, any difference? I am main charging the first battery at the moment as I am at home.

Many thanks

congrats on getting your kit............ no you are ok to use as the batteries do have a factory charge so you can use it straight away........... you can put the other battery on charge though so you will get the benefit of a fully charged battery

hope you like it

C'mon --Have you tried anything yet?

Ok i am a bit confused. I have the battery screwed into the USB lead and the USB lead plugged into the mains adapter which is plugged into the wall socket.

The light on the USB lead, where it connects to the battery, is green but the light on the mains adapter in the wall is red.

The battery itself is turned off.

Does this mean it is fully charged or not, and should the battery itself be turned off?

Hope that makes sense.

I reckon that is charged. The light on the wall charger wall is probably only red or off, to show if it is connected or not. So just look at the usb lead.

There are occasional reports of USB chargers damaging PC motherboards (not that I've had any trouble myself), so other things being equal, use the wall charger. It may also be quicker, depending on your PC
