Why you need an external battery charger?
Posted on 19 June 2017
A great device can be ruined by a cell with too low amperage or made more dangerous by a high-temperature rating. The safest way to charge your battery has always been to use an external battery charger! At NYX Vape, our staff has been trained to give the best possible recommendations to ensure a pleasant experience when being part of this journey.
One highly repeated suggestion we have always made here has been to purchase an external battery charger. Overcharging a LiPo cell can reduce or diminish its performance over time. To evenly as well as safely charge your batteries, it is highly suggested that you have another method of charging when it comes to these batteries. This way, your batteries will maintain their good performance over a longer period of time rather than having to swap out batteries before fully reaching their lifespan.
Which external charger should you buy?
The two external chargers we stock and recommend are the Efest Lush Q2 Intelligent LED Charger and the Efest Lush Q4 Intelligent LED Charger. Both give you a safe external charge without unnecessary features. They use a simple no-button design, and an LED indicator above each slot shows you at a glance whether a cell is still charging or ready to go. Each slot is monitored independently, so the charger adjusts to what you actually put in it rather than treating every battery the same.
Pick the Lush Q2 if you run one or two cells at a time, and the Lush Q4 if you rotate through a larger set or run dual-battery mods and want a spare pair always topped up.

Look after the cells too
A good charger is only half of it. Mistreating your battery may lead to a terrifying outcome. Anyone who owns a vaporizer or any unit of its kind should treat their systems with respect and follow the recommended steps provided. Retire cells with torn or nicked wraps, keep spares in a case rather than loose in a pocket, and replace a cell that no longer holds its charge instead of pushing it. Please keep those batteries safe!
