I have a "XTAR WP2 II" charger that I have been using for most of the last year to keep my Lavatube batteries charged. Never had any problems with it.
My new eVic arrived with the two extra batteries. I'm in the habit of carrying a spare charged battery or two and swapping batteries (rotating through the three, over and over) and want to keep doing this with my eVic.
I plugged in the eVic, updated the firmware, then replugged it in to charge. That went fine.
I popped out the two spares and since the charger said it would charge "18650" batteries, put the pink batteries in.
On this charger it has an LED above each bay. Green means charged. Red means charging.
The lights stayed green. I.E. not charging.
I popped them in and out: momentary red light on one... then green. Repeated... nada.
Never had any trouble with the dynamite red 18650 LT batteries. The pink 18650 just do not want to charge.
Question 1) Any idea why my eVic batteries are not charging on my charger?
Noticed there is a switch on my charger: 1A or 0.5A. Tried changing that. Still nada.
Question 2) What should the amp setting on my charger be for the red LT batteries?
Question 3) Assuming I can get the charger to work on the pink eVic batteries, should that setting be any different?
Looked all over the forums for two days looking for answers to these: found nothing definitive, so I'm asking here.
Thanks!
