bcartervol98 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I mainly use Vision Spinners but have a couple Evod VV as well. All of a sudden about 2 weeks ago my Evods started doing a strange thing. When charging about every 15-20 seconds the fire button on the batteries will flash 3 times, the light on the charger will turn green, the battery will flash 3 times again and the charger will turn red like it is charging then it repeats the same thing. This is not happening with my Spinner 2s only the 1300s (as of today last week they charged just fine)and Evod 1000s. I have also used my old Joyetech chargers and my new Vision chargers with the same result. The Evods did it first but today my Spinner 1300s started doing it as well. Any ideas?

Earthling789 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Defective or over-rated charger damaging the batteries? What is the charge-rate for the Vision chargers? I know the 900mAh EVOD batteries I had came with a warning to not charge at a rate higher than 420mA.... and I think the charger that came with them was only rated at 350mA (although not sure if that was correct).

bcartervol98 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 They still charge though it just looks like I am surrounded by police with all the flashing going on and am unsure why all of a sudden they are fling that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 is it on all of them or the older ones? im thinking maybe the lifespan of the ones that are doing this is coming to an end? Please excuse me if it has absolutely nothing to do with it as I dont have spinners but it was worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcartervol98 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 No it's just the two newest ones. If it were some that are well over a year old I would guess the same thing. All of a sudden every non Spinner 2 I have are doing the same thing. So weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 are they charging on a power bar with multiple plugs? it might be the power bar that is faulty. are they new chargers? maybe its a new charging bug? really weird Im throwing suggestions off the top of my head and im sure youve checked those things but you never know if something slipped!

bcartervol98 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Yea they are on a power strip. It's funny I had 3 Spinner 2s that charged like clockwork plugged in at the same time but my two newest 1300mah version 1s flashed 3 times each like every 20 seconds until they fully charged. The Evods do the same thing. I tried both my new Vision chargers and even pulled out the old Joye Techs I replaced and same all around. I guess it's not an issue if they charge just weird.

Christopher Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You know, mine do this sometimes too. I have 5 chargers here with Spinners and eVod batteries and the eVod batteries will sometimes blink. I never really thought much of it until you mentioned it. They all seem to charge and work correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christov11 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 so cahgning the chargers, and having others that work fine on the power bar eliminates those options. it has to be with the spinners themselves... Honestly im at a loss here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So just for kicks, I have a feeling it has to do with the Joye Tech chargers. I say that because I opened a couple of new ones from the VT store and plugged in the eVods, they charged through without a hitch. At least in my case, it seems to only be an issue on my generic chargers :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) How strange. I've never seen my batteries do this (Vision Spinner I in 900 and 1300 mAh and Spinner II, eGo C & T 650 mAh, eGo 1000 Twist...) and I'm using Joyetech, Vision and Inferno chargers with the AC adapters. I think yours are possessed, B. Edited September 23, 2014 by Tameiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
