Asked this question in another thread to do with the 4 Sevens V2 charger and had some subtle hints that it was the wrong thread. Bad me. :shakehead
The thread mentioned that the USB way of charging, which I bought this particluar charger for was taking a long time to charge as well as higher than normal inital load.
The question was:
Anyone else had the extended time taken to recharge via USB. I intended to use in conjuction with a USB battery pack that recharges at 5.5V (3000mah) as per http://www.voltaicsystems.com/amp.shtml when away from power supply and just to do top up charges with my AW2900. And had gotten the 47s vertion as it could do USB. As I havent recieved the charger yet (has shipped) I am now starting to think will it work, and if it draws a higher that 5.5V initailly will it damage the voltaic battery. Any advice/experiance will be welcome.
As I am not a battery guru and would like to know the answer as I really dont want to damage the battery/charger/torch/ME. I intended to use for charging when away but now am thinking to go back to the recharging the AA's with the Voltaic battery pack which I have used for a long time, and just be done with it.
I dont work for Volatic and I also have a USB Enegriser recharger battery pack which started me on the USB charger fix as they are just so handy - I travel a lot and dont always have access to a power supply.
