Tesla sidewinder 2 question

[emorgan]

Hi, new member and new to E-cigs. I Quit smoking a little over three weeks ago and started out with two little ego 1150 mah.. Quickly moved up to a Tesla sidewinder 2 battery and was wondering if there is any way to tell if it is fully charged? All I ever get is a flashing red to green light on the charger and a solid light on the battery itself no matter how long it has been charging.

I don't know anything about those but welcome to the forum
Someone will be along to tell you I'm sure!

I have not used that type of mod. Welcome to ECF! I'm sure someone will see this and get ya going.

Well after many different charging setups I finally found one that charges it completely. For info the light on the battery goes off and the light on the charger turns green. up until now it has never done that.

emorgan: Can you be more detailed and specific on "charging setups" ?

emorgan, Having the same issue, can you tell me what charging setup you are using?

Man would I love you tell us how please! I have same issue with my Tesla SW2. Damn thing stays on charge for 24hrs plus

Found in madvapes this!

"Set voltage to 4.2V and then screw battery on the charger."

My first attempt was successful. Battery light out and charger light turned green.

It certainly works. Charged it again and as long as you set the voltage at 4.2 then the Sidewinder will charge properly.

I don't think I'll buy it again though. That kind of information should come from Tesla and not a vendor.
Nothing beats aspire in my experience. Totally faultless and very tough.
If you're after a good battery, get an Aspire or get yourself a good mod.

i'm having the same issue!! that's why i joined here to find out some info of the sidewinder 2!! your post was in Oct! did you figure anything out?

 

[ARHS]

Set the Sidewinder at 4.2v and then screw it on the charger. It charges properly with no probs.
Got the tip from madvapes.com. Since my last post my Sidewinder had no problems charging that way.
