FTJoe Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Anyone have the skinny on the 510 chargers. I got a high speed charger for the egofrom TW - 420ma. I just got my 510 charger from TW, 150ma. I have two other similar chargers and they are 200ma. Is that too much for a 510? Is this just all over the map?
kitsune Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Sorry FT, not a single clue !!!! All I know is that my Ego instructions say ' may be harmful to other batteries' do not use to charge 510. other than that I am electronically challenged. I will be interested to know the answer.
FTJoe Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 Sorry FT, not a single clue !!!! Actually you can, get your glasses on if you need them and tell me what the stats are on the charger. Probably on the other side of the cute light. Probably says xV-yV in, 4.23 V out xma or .xa. Could you let me know that the numbers are? I'm pretty sure the amps out are the important part, just don't know what the 200ma (.2A) are all about? Fast charger or slow?
kitsune Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 OK-- the 510 charger I got from AZsmokefree input: DC5V Output: DC4.2V Ego charger - Input: DC5v, 500mA, Output: DC 4.2V 420mA Totally Wicked 510 charger -- Input: AC 100-240V 50/60 Hz, Output: DC 4.2V, 150mA Does that help???
FTJoe Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) OK-- the 510 charger I got from AZsmokefree input: DC5V Output: DC4.2V Does that help??? That's great, Thanx. But no amps listed on the 510 AZmokefree charger? I still am not sure if the output is 200ma if I can use on 510s... Edited June 14, 2010 by FTJoe
kitsune Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 no amps listed...... any chance you have an old 510 batt that your willing to experiment on????
FTJoe Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 any chance you have an old 510 batt that your willing to experiment on???? Plenty but I'm not a big fan of experimenting with electricity.
kitsune Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 It shouldn't blow up--(I think), The battery may never work again however..... I can't believe we dont have any electrical engineers around--

nana Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Maybe jeffb is right, no one reads my posts!!! I read 'em, FTJoe. I just can't help you out any. I know nothing about electrical stuff.
Jeffb Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Run an extension cord outside and plug it in. See what happens.
FTJoe Posted June 15, 2010 Author Posted June 15, 2010 I'm sure the 200mah will be okay charging the 510s, my bigger concern is is it just a little bit too much and could shorten the life of the 510? I'll do it when I get home, just don't want to hand out the 200mah in a 510 try it kit if its not right.
FTJoe Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 Have you tried it yet ???? No time, sorry...I'm sure the 200mah will be fine, the 420 will not I'm sure.
Burn Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 ROFL and LMAO This thread is AWESOME, Joe upset that nobody reads his post, Kit just says "Chris...." and there Jeff is, 12 minutes later. That just MADE my lunch break! I Love you, VT!!!
