triple 18650 mod charging,

[geordie_vaper]

going to get a lost vape triade, only have a 4 bay charger though, is that ok to charge the 3 18650s needed to power the mod? newb when it comes to triple batt mods

4 bay is fine for 3 batts mate yeah

As it is a DNA200 mod there is no problem with leaving the batteries in the mod and using the USB to Balance charge them correctly, I would advise though that you do not let them drain right down and top them up when they show about 50% on the battery bar, and use a decent 1A+ powered USB rather than a computer as latter will only output about 0.5A

You can charge safely in mod as stated but it's always better to charge them in a separate charger, a 4 bay charger will charge 3 batteries without issue and will guarantee a balanced charge and will save the wear and tear on your mods usb port.

i just wasnt sure as i remember seeing that on most 4 bay chargers the two outer ports use the same current and the two inner ports share the other, or am i talking pish haha.

but happy days no need for a new charger

Usually the two outer slots charge higher ie 1amp, but if you then add a third or fourth battery using the internal slots it will drop to half an amp.
