AG-126 Charger Question

[Hatecraft]

Hey guys, just got my first true mod (Maxi Roughstack) from Madvapes. I got the AG-126 charger and two 18650 batteries. The charger didn't come with any instructions, but I suppose putting the positive end up (where the + is) is the way to go. How long does it typically take an 18650 to charge? The charger just has a single light that has been a solid red for the past three hours. I assume it will change to green when fully charged. I'm charging both batteries at the same. One battery is a 2400 mah and the other is a 3000 mah. Does the difference in the mah matter if charging both at the same time? Would it be faster to just charge one at a time? If so, I assume the 2400 mah would charge more quickly? Any help is greatly appreciated as I am very anxious to try out the Roughstack.

Pull them out and see what color the light is. On one of my chargers it's red when it's charged and green when it's not. If it doesn't change colors then they're charged. Most of them are green when charged. I don't have that model though.

Took your advice, 5cardstud. When I plugged the empty charger back in, the light was indeed green. It sure is weird that the colors are switched like that. Thanks for the tip. I guess the new batteries from Madvapes usually come fully charged then? So, how long will it generally take an 18650 to charge?

I normally leave my 18650s in overnight to charge. As to a more specific length, I cannot give. >1hr but <12 The 18650 is pretty good, i can get 3 days easy. I've done 4 days before, but midway through day 4 the battery was reading <3.7v.

If you dont have a multimeter to check the battery voltage, I wouldnt go more than 2 days if you're a HEAVY vaper. I consider myself average, around 3.5mL/day if dripping.


p.s. LED's being swapped like that is SO Chinese.

On the AG-126, green = charged (or empty) red=charging and flashing red/green means getting close to being charged.

The chargers poll and each poll will make the led flash red, so as it gets closer to charging, the more flashing between red and green.

I have this charger, and when charging 18350's starting at around 3.65v, it takes about 2 1/2-3 hrs. to fully charge. 18350's are rated at 1200 Mah, so your batteries are twice or more in Mah rating.

Note: I have the older version, that only charges 3.7v li-ion batts.

Oh, I guess they weren't charged then. I just put the one not currently in my RoughStack back on to charge it. Hope it charges before the partially charged one in my Roughstack dies. Would hate to have to lower myself to using one of my eGo's or KR808's. The Maxi RoughStack has already spoiled me. It's one hell of a device. Kudos MadVapes!

Just got mine today for my 5v box mod.

I'm using 2 trustfire 14500s @ 900mah

Seems that the charger goes..

Solid Red = charging
Flashing Red = Getting closer to charged
Flashing Red/Green = nearly charged
Green = charged (will still flash red but less often)

i have both the 5v box mod and the maxi roughstack if your really looking to let the maxi roughstack jade you to all other ecigs try 2-18350s with the 2.8-3.0 ohm cartomizer for insane VP/TH/ vapor heat. never use SR attys over 6v it gets hot enough to vaporizer the metal in the atty i tested this with a "water pipe" system...if ya catch my drift
