Battery Chargers — Guide to Efest ChargersUpdated 6 months ago

Why Use an External Charger?

While charging batteries through your mod via USB is convenient, an external charger is safer and better for battery longevity. External chargers:

• Charge at a controlled, consistent rate.
• Have dedicated safety cutoffs to prevent overcharging.
• Allow you to charge batteries while still using your mod (with a spare charged set).
• Extend battery lifespan by charging more gently than many mod USB circuits.
• Let you monitor battery health over time.

How to Charge Correctly

1. Insert batteries with correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
2. Connect the charger to a standard wall adapter — 5V/1A or 5V/2A. Avoid fast chargers.
3. The LED or display will indicate charging in progress.
4. Remove batteries when fully charged — don't leave them on the charger indefinitely.
5. Store charged batteries in a battery case until ready to use.
