Yeah, I'm actually really impressed with this charger.
All three batteries charged up fine. No over heating, noting. Just changed them like they were part of my rotation.
Using my 1st one today as a trial.
2200mah on my efest at 9.5w on a 2.2ohm dual coil head gives me about a days worth of charge.
The max discharge these batteries can handle is 4400mah (4.4amp)
Using the power and ohms given, can someone tell me the load on the battery please? (Still figuring out all the electrical maths) lol

You need a charger with a resuscitate feature like many of the XTars to bring them back to life, just monitor them closely and for the first few charge and use cycles. yeah, I got myself an XTAR WP2 II, this was its trial run. seems to have charged them fine. The unit gets warmer than my old trust fire but it is smaller too. Edit. Just read that this charger has a build in under voltage lockout system. From what I understand, this stops the charger from charging a battery which is too flat. (Please correct me if I am wrong) |

Well, had them on charge for over an hour now at 500mah. Checked the temp of them and they are just "warm" the charger itself is warmer than the batteries. I'll keep my eye on them.
I was hoping for a technical reply. I know one of the mod makers on here really knows batteries inside and out.

If they measure 2.5V or lower then I'd say ditch them m8. 2.5 is an absolute minimum with these batteries. I wish I could test them but I don't have a multi meter.  Thing is, I have my old trusty panni which is over a year old... actually getting on to be 2 years old soon and it still out preforms my less than a month old efest. Surely batteries which have been looked after except for prolonged storage drain can't be "that" bad? I mean, the charger has some sort of refresh feature designed for batteries which are a little buggered, if they were so dangerous then why bother adding that type of feature to a charger? Heck, before my ecig days, used to put laptop battery packs in the freezer for 24 hours so they would start working again. (When the laptop can't detect the battery). fixed quite a few that way too. |

Hi, I have got a set of 3 samsung icr18650-22e batteries which I recovered from my sisters old laptop.
The batteries are fine (laptop didn't have a battery fault) but, because the laptop had been stood for around a year and a half, they only have a tiny bit of power in them.
They can JUST turn my VTR on but the leds are dim!
I have also just received my Xtar wp2 II charger today. I was wondering if it would be best to slow charge them or just go for the normal setting?
Reading about the batteries, they can be charged right even at 2amp (max) but they consider 1amp to be normal charging current.
They are meant to be 2,200 mah.

My mum got our sweets for the favours... she managed to get personalised "love hearts" (them sherbet round sweets with little chat up lines on them) They went down a treat. We still have a pack or 2 left  |

I'm surprised to find no analysing Li-ion battery chargers.
I mean, some of the features of ni-cd these days are amazing and some can even bring dead batteries back to life. (The one I own does anyway)
I'm also shocked that not a single charger I have looked at has a heat sensor which can detect a battery which is over heating and cut charging off.
I thought that would have been a no brainer as a safety feature.
I guess Li-ion is still too new.
So from a safety point of view, what is the best charger? I want something which I can put a bit of trust into when charging these laptop batteries.
BTW, the laptop didn't have a battery problem, just everything else lol

Well, I have had my 2nd hand trust fire for just over a year, it only charges on one bay now so it's time for an upgrade.
I have acquired a few batteries from an old laptop so I need a charger with plenty of bells and whistles.
Something like lcd display, different charging settings, voltage checker, battery health checker, not sure this next one is my own invention or if it's actually a feature but safety cut off if it detects the battery over heating.
Any ideas?
Not too pricey please!
Kind regards,
Chiller.

I personally hope that the BBC go down. They don't produce anything other than Top Gear worth watching.
The way TV is these days, if the BBC want us to pay to view, then make a subscription service like sky or better still, bring advertising to the BBC and make it free to view like the rest of the free view channels.
The TV licence is an outdated rule which is getting harder and harder to keep law with all the new tech.
Look at it this way, the way the law is worded about not needing a licence to watch non live TV, you could get a free view box (or something similar) which basically buffers a channel for 5 min before it plays it. Technically speaking, you are not watching live TV as there is a 5 min delay in what you are watching and what is been aired.

Well, I ended up in a comedy club in leeds where I met up with all my family, we all had a number of drinks and we were fine to vape everywhere too!
Good times, just shame about the hangover lol.

Didn't know they did eliquid chiller. yeah, they do a few flavours and I am near positive they are made by T-Juice. I have a madagascan vanilla flavour which is near identical to melipona. Here's there site www.r-ejuice.com/ |

I tried Rips (the company who make tobacco papers) version of grape eliquid which is purple, it's quite yummy. No concentrate though.
