Tug Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 How long have they been charging?Not to insult your intelligence but are you putting them in the right way in the charger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastedpolabear Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 How long have they been charging? Not to insult your intelligence but are you putting them in the right way in the charger? Yes and atleast 5 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 How many hours has it been charging? Since that's a 2500 mAh battery, it could take several hours depending on what kind of charger you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling789 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) What charger are you using? Is it blinking to indicate charging, or rapid blinking to indicate "error"? Most chargers should charge a 2500mAh IMR battery within 3 hours... That charger looks like one of the cheaper Trustfire/Ultrafire brand chargers... which are really low charge rates.

Earthling789 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 From what I've read on them, the MXJO are re-wrapped LG18650HE2. It is also possible they are factory seconds from LG, so you may have a dud? Several reports say they are "superior", several say they are junk... so I have no experience with them to say one way or the other... But, if they are re-wrapped LG H2's, they are NOT 35A... they are 20A batteries. Tug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Were" being the operative word... if they are factory seconds from LG... there is no guarantee how long they will last, how or if they will charge, or if they will "pop". Best to be safe and stick with known, reputable batteries... safety first! Tug and Tam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
