Tornado 1000maH Batteries - Charging

[fishermansam]

Hello!  Sorry if this has been covered before, tried searching but not much came up in relation to my predicament.

I got some mega batteries for my birthday (hooray!) and neither of them charge on any of my 3 Tornado USB chargers.  650maH batteries work fine on all 3 chargers as long as the contacts are free of juice.  Good practise and all that!

The batteries worked straight out of the packet on every (510) atomiser variant I have so no connectivity issues regarding an atomiser.  As a result I have ordered a mega USB charger and one of the Tornado/Titan adaptors to see if they help.

Anyone else experienced this?  Is it a case of using the adaptor?  Could both of my new batteries be faulty?  Could all 3 of my 'working' USB chargers be faulty?

To be honest I haven't got the multimeter out yet to check all outputs etc, but will do tomorrow and report my findings here.

Many thanks in advance for any insights...

Have you made sure the USB charger is connected to the PC or mains power adapter before screwing the battery on?

I don’t have any mega batteries so can’t really help.
Astrecks has a good point.
Plug the charger in first then connect the battery.
Let us know how you get on.

I remember reading a thread a while ago now,i believe Kenneth said the usb needed to be connected before the battery was screwed on.
