Battery Charging Question

So did some charging on my vv v3. @ 500mah it took 2h 38m. @ 2A it took 1h 31m.

Probably not going to hurt the battery life too much at 2A but there is a kinder option.

 

From their website:

Quick Details:
Size:15*15*108.5mm Battery Capacity:800mAh
Operating Voltage:3.3V-5.0V Charing Time:1.5 Hours
Colors:White, Black, Chameleon, Pearl Chrome Release Date:2013.05.25

Good test. Charging it with your 500mah power supply wasn't giving it enough power to charge at full speed, but still let it charge slowly. With the 2.1a power supply, it pulled the amount of power it was supposed to and charged amazingly close to its specified time. According to the calculator I found, the iTaste VV has the ability to draw approximately 640mah. If it were drawing 2.1a, it would have charged in around 30 minutes. Check it out:

It probably did the bulk of its charging in the 30min because you can feel the heat. Once the volts are up it trickles the last little bit which takes longer than when the tap is open.

Anyways all good to use whatever charger you have.

 

Btw - the bit in bold. Charing time? Bring the steaks and snags lol.

 

Yeah, I noticed it when I highlighted it, but who am I to correct their Chinglish documentation? Maybe that's how long it takes to burn your house down when you use the wrong power supply?

 

For this test you need to have an amp meter inline to make any sence, its the only way to see how many mah. it uses.

Again guessing aint doing anything, its very normal for batt. to heat up a bit when charging all my 18650 does heat up in the charger.

 

Go for it. I don't have one.

 

There is a rumor that the batt. is in fact only a 680 mah cell...

Official Response from Innokin Regarding iTasteVV3.0 800mAh Battery Capacity. : electronic_cigarette

FYI: Innokin lies about Itazte vv battery capacity : electronic_cigarette

If that is true the device charges at 500 mah when using the 2 amp psu and the 500 mah psu used for badwingman's test is not giving 500 mah output.

Badwingman do you by any chance use your computers usb port for the 500 mah test ?

 

I did and think you are right.

 

Could have been faulty but really think they don't like being pushed. My 2nd round of battery testing I had it cranked to 11w? and pulsing my rough kayfun coil and it was done pretty quickly.

At a leisurely pace tho they dont do so bad. Not quite enough in the tank for myself for a night out but still a mod I would recommend.
