Internal Battery Charging Question.

[kris73]

Amps are "drawn" not "pushed", so always use a charger that meets or exceeds your mods needs.

I use a 5 port Anker mains usb charger for my built in battery charging, it'll charge near anything, including iPad with ease. Mind you, it is rated at 40 amps. Barely get warm to the touch too. About £15 on amazon UK

exactly what @kris73 says, use a USB charger that can supply more than your mod requires. As stated - current is Drawn FROM the charger not Pushed TO the device. All this bollocks comes from a handful of morons using cheap market stall chargers to charge eGo batteries - Usually on Apple chargers. The cheapo eGo USB adapters had no circuitry inside them so just allowed the battery to pull everything it could - resulting in them venting. A proper charging circuit built into a device will regulate the current and ensure the battery charges safely...

The exploding ego type

The correct type

Thanks everyone.

So seeing as both these mods have built in protection circuits, and both say they charge at up to 1A, I just need to use any USB charging plug rated 5V @ 1A or above.

Yup . Basically that's it.
