Nitecore Intellicharger i2

[KEVOLO]

What's up guys and gals ! I wanted to ask if anyone has had any problems similar to mine with an inteliicharger i2. Today I woke up and noticed that my batteries were charged. But one of them was put on wrong. Meaning the positive side was on the negative side. Visa-versa.

Now the charger has solid lighting on bay 1. I have tried disconnecting the power for a couple of minutes and nothing. And now my batteries are dead. Two 18650 Sony VCT5. Won't fire on my ipv 2s nor my mech mods.

I'm screwed aren't I !?

(I apologize if I'm in the wrong room)

Those bays are supposed to be independent of each other. Try just using the one bay that was installed correctly and see if it at least works.

I have the i2 as a backup but haven't used it. I use the i4 and have inserted a battery incorrectly once. The bay status light showed "fully charged" and I knew that wasn't right so removed the battery and was going to switch it to a different bay but then noticed I had inserted in backwards, easy to do with flat tops. Once I re-inserted the battery correctly it began charging normally, I had no further problems with the charger or battery.

I have never had any issues with mine but I sure wish I had read this thread before I just purchased a backup charger.

That looks like an awesome charger. Sorry you had problems but glad we have ecf to help us out.

I have the nitecore intellicharger i4 been great and sure it has a protection for putting the batteries in the wrong way. Would have thought the i2 would be the same.

Though it probably gives you a signal that something is wrong when you first put in the batteries so if you keep them in after a long time things may not go good.
