Please be sure to read the product description! Some of the chargers we sell are compatible with Ni-Mh/Ni-Cad batteries.*Voltage reading/tolerance specifications are generally not provided by the charger manufacturer and these numbers are for reference only.Ĭan I charge other battery types (chemistry) with my charger?.This is approximately a 1% difference, and should be considered within a normal operating tolerance. For example, one charger may read 4.19, and another may read 4.15.It is normal to see small differences when reading voltage on a battery using different methods.The voltage reading given by most chargers is not an exact measurement, and can be affected by many factors, including whether the battery is properly placed in the charging bay.I then measured them on a different charger/voltmeter/multimeter and they were different. I charged my batteries and the charger gave me a voltage reading of 4.xx. You don't get as much capacity/runtime, but generally it is negligible and most folks find it worth the tradeoff. Research has shown that under charging your batteries, on the other hand, can actually lengthen the life of the battery.Most high quality consumer grade chargers should charge to the 4.12-4.21V range and this is perfectly normal.Over charging batteries is extremely dangerous and should be avoided.
Most will be within about 1% and this tolerance is usually in the specification.
Electronics that would charge to exactly 4.20V every time would be much more expensive than the price range of the chargers most consumers would buy. For a lithium ion battery, all of the chargers we sell are rated to a certain tolerance around 4.2V.My charger isn't charging my batteries all the way to 4.2V. Please note that even with these chargers, in order to not damage the battery they do not fully discharge the battery all the way so they will still usually read a little bit low, but they should at least be close (for example maybe 2800-3000mAh in a 3000mAh battery would be a reasonable expectation). Some examples of chargers that can do this are the Opus BT-C3100 or XTAR Dragon VP4 Plus. Only some high end chargers can actually run a test cycle that will discharge the battery first, and then charge it.Most chargers are this way, including the XTAR VC2 and VC4, the Nitecore chargers that have a mAh readout, and many others. So for example, we ship our batteries at about 30% charge, which means that these chargers would read 30-40% low. It doesn't include any charge that was already in the battery. A basic charger will only tell you how much mAh was put in during the charging cycle.We are not liable for the product if any changes are made to the charger accessories or connectors.Battery Chargers FAQ The charger has finished charging my battery, but the display is telling me there's significantly less mAh than the battery is rated for. Do not make any changes to the charger, charger accessories or connectors, as this might cause electrical shortage, fire or over-heating during charging. Please take out of batteries after cutting off the power while finished charging otherwise, the batteries keep discharging and effect the performance Weight: 5.86 oz for Both Charger and Adapter.Led Displays Red for charging and green for charging completed.Contrary polarity protection and distinguish from batteries, charging the rechargeable battery automatically.Lithium Phosphate Batteries (LiFePO4) - 3.2V - 24.8V
