    18650 won't charge?

    Update. Jumping it with another good battery worked! The charger was then able to charge them and they seem to work fine! I'm pretty excited. This forum just saved me another $20-30 bucks. :grin2: I won't know exactly what they're doing until I get the volt meter and check it out but they seem...

    18650 won't charge?

    I searched for voltage meter and multimeter at the HW stores and the shack. Nothing for under $10 in fact everything analog or digital was in the $30-100 range! Guess prices have gone up since you bought yours ha-ha! I think the neighbor has one. Thatnks for the tutorial link. I have no idea...

    18650 won't charge?

    So neither full charge or full discharge is good. Interesting. Thanks for the battery U. links good information. Taking another direction here, how to I test the real voltage of my battery and what tool is needed? Also I've read a lot of comments about good / bad chargers. I thought they were...

    18650 won't charge?

    I have 2 different chargers and both were immediately throwing the green light as if the batteries were already charged. So in this case, the charger is not solving the problem. Interesting note about not storing a fully charged battery. Why? And how do I avoid it? For example, my charger...

    18650 won't charge?

    Touch it with a 9 volt battery for 3-5 sec.? Sounds interesting but what is the concept behind that? Also, I see so many posts concerning these batteries blowing up if mistreated I'd like to be assured doing that is perfectly safe.

    Can a landlord report on your credit history?

    You pretty much have to have some sort of revolving credit line to get a good credit history showing. You can get a credit card almost anywhere these days. Even if it only has a $500 limit at first, go apply for a couple and use them regularly. Pay them off every few months though and do not...

    18650 won't charge?

    Ok, I have a relatively new set of 4 Tenergy 18650 batteries I bought in December from all-battery.com Per Tenergy it is ok and a good thing to discharge them all of the way. I did this with two batteries and now they will not recharge at all. I've left them in the charger over night but no...
