Fancythat1 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Hey there! MY hubby is using the Evod Twist II and he's having to charge it multiple times a day. He has it set to the 4.3v (Max is 4.8) setting. Any ideas on why it may be needing to be charged so often? Also, the light around the button is red when needing a charge, turns white shortly after being on the charger, and just turned off after a while. The little led light on the charger, however stays red and occasionally blinks green. Thanks! Edited December 23, 2014 by Fancythat1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's not done til the light turns solid green If he's running it at 4.3v it's going to discharge faster. I don't know what the mah rating is on those batteries but he's likely just using it up or not fully charging it to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Not sure abut the EVOD IIs but my EVOD twist do the same with the lights. It will be blinking when ready to charge and solid white when charging with the charger light blinking from green to red. Once it is full charged, about 5 hours, the charger light goes steady green. Have him clean the battery connection and the charger where the battery connects and see if that helps. They do take about 5-6 hours to fully charge.

Earthling789 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 ^^ This ^^ Higher mAh batteries will take longer to charge. My 1100mAh batteries can take 5-6-hrs, give or take, just for reference. As for discharge rates.... the coil resistance has a lot to do with it, as well as the Voltage setting. Lower resistance coils (ex. 1.5 Ohm) will run down a battery faster than higher resistance coils (ex. 2.0 Ohm). Higher Voltage setting will discharge the battery faster than using a "nominal" rating of 3.5 or 3.7V. Running low resistance coils and higher Voltage settings are just more reasons to invest in larger mAh batteries, or at least have several back-ups on hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yes, to all of the above comments. If the battery is a 650 or 900 mAh, it's going to discharge much faster depending on how much he's using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Shandi-Star* Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Could it just be how long he's hitting it? A lot of batteries will flash and stop after 10 seconds if pushing the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
