Charging LV Battery

[chrisjw]

My LV battery wasn't drawing properly & it's showing 3.4, which, according to the manual, is when it needs charging......I screwed it into my Riva 1100 charger ( it's the only charger I have)...It's been on charge for about 2 hours & still reads the same......I don't want to blow the charger.....Do I need a different one?

What's an LV battery?

Are you saying that you screwed a lavatube into an ego charger

Remove it immediately..

You cannot charge a LT Battery that way..

OMG, you've not screwed the whole LT onto the charger by the connection end? Have you ???

[blakey]

It's unlikely that it would've made contact with the terminals thank god
Chriss, the battery needs to be removed from the lavatube and charged in a separate charger

Not the battery karma...I screwed the actual LV into the charger......... ...

Trust me, I wasn't worried about the charger..

You need a Li-IOn battery charger..You take the battery out of the LT and charge it..This is a good charger:

Clicky
