turtle11c Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I just got an ego passthrough and was wondering if you can overcharge it. Do they stop passing current to the battery once a full charge is reached? I would like to keep my ego working for as long as possible.
Christopher Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Yes, once the battery is fully charged it will shut off and the red light will turn off.
turtle11c Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 sweet thanks. I just wanted to make sure leaving it plugged in after it was fully charged didnt overload the battery or something like that
Christopher Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 No not at all Though, it will start to charge once the voltage drops again. It's probably a good idea to unplug it after the light has gone out but it's not necessary
turtle11c Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 I was wondering about that because it says it only takes like 2 hours if that to get a 100 percent charge but I was worried about plugging it in overnight considering thats a bit longer that just a couple hours. Thanks for the help.
Christopher Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 So long as your not using it, the voltage will not drop. So leaving it in over night is fine. Once the battery is charged it will shut off an not recharge. It doesn't start charging again until you use it and the voltage drops.
johns Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Good question, good answers Is the same thing true for a regular eGo battery?
nana Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Good question, good answers Is the same thing true for a regular eGo battery? Yes.
turtle11c Posted March 29, 2011 Author Posted March 29, 2011 so i decided to do a little study last night and had my webcam record my ego charge overnight and what i learned is that if you leave your battery plugged in it will charge to 100% and then stop but it does not turn on as your battery looses charge over time unless you unplug it and plug it back in. In other words you should charge it when you go to bed then that will give you enough charge to get to work or go through a couple of hours when you wake up before it needs a recharge.
GPurv Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Chris and others; help with your advice? This topic has confused me. I don't think the eGo Passthrough is what most people think of as a passthrough. That is, the eGo passthrough is more of a 'charger' for a battery than it is a true passthrough. But, I need tech support types to explain what I'm trying to say. (I guess I'm just thinking a REAL passthrough has no battery?) Is that it? (btw turtle, I did one of those CAM tricks you did, and my wife was right. I start snoring after 20 mins flat) Edited March 30, 2011 by GPurv
Cheriepye Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Yes. I wonder if this works with other makes of e-cigs.
