Question about different capacity batteries. Has anyone else dual charged packs of different capacities? I have 3 packs. 2 are 5000 mah 2s, and I have one 5200mah 2s. Would it work charging one of the 5000mah packs with the 5200mah pack? Thanks Question about different capacity batteries. Has anyone else dual charged packs of different capacities?

I am not positive. I can tell you that I have the 5000 mah 2c and my other battery is a 3c and they can not charge simultaneously. Very annoying. My guy tells me it would not work.

Don't do it. U could charge the 5000mah pack to much and trying to get bigger one charged. Can u say BOOM always put them in a lipo bag!!:)

I haven't and don't recommend that either. Save yourself the hassle and be on the safe side. It is better to charge each battery separately.

I have a DW-9118 Charger with a DC730 Drill 1/2 drill. I replaced my DW-9094 14.4v batteries, I am not sure what the mAh were but I know the XRP batteries that came out later stated they lasted 40% longer. Anyway I bought 2 of these 3000mAh batteries and they work Great. They definitely last longer and even seem more powerful than the originals, but that might be due to me forgetting what my old ones use to be like. I think you will be ok, only thing I noticed is these get a little warmer after a charge, but that might be due to the higher mAh. If this helps, I remember someone using my charger that had a XRP battery and it charged fine. I have a DW-9118 Charger with a DC730 Drill 1/2 drill.

You should never mix batteries with different capacity numbers in a set. The battery with lower capacity (1300mAh) will drag down the capacity of the higher ones (2300mAh). So the whole set can only deliver 1300mAh. Furthermore, as the weakest cell is depleted first, it will get reverse-charged by other cells. This can cause permanent damage in the weakest cell and make its capacity drop even further.

The AA or AAA batteries are of a different size and shape and the voltage is different. I found that you can order conversion kits, but the reviews on them are not good. The 18650 battery holds a charge for a long time and I find it quite convenient. I keep a second battery charged at all times in the event I need to replace.

Thats why I bought the dual charger and have 3 batteries. I can do an all day event while charging 2 batteries.Never run out of power. Well worth it and you never worry about batteries

ARE THEY the same? If they are different 'makers' of the battery(s) it will be a tough call. I will 'assume' that since the numbers appear to be closely the same the capacities 'might' be the same. But what about the dimensions?that will be a key factor.

Well, my experience is that each slot operates on it's own. Given slots 1, 2, 3, and 4. I insert a battery in slot 1, accept "Charge" as the mode, go to 800 mamp, accept that, and put a battery in slot 2. Slot 2 then lets you select the charging mode (charge, break-in, refresh, discharge) but slot 1 setting should not be affected. I just tried it with 3 batteries and experienced no problems. One thing to consider is this. By accepting, you press "Enter". For charging, you press "Enter" for charging, then set the charge rate with the up and down arrows. Then, you have to press "Enter" again for the charging rate. It may look like you had chosen the charging rate by pressing the up and down arrows, but to complete the setting, you have to press "Enter" again. I don't know if that's your issue, but that's my best guess.

Yes, this will make the charger think that multiple batteries are one big battery. The charger will peak all the batteries and stop. Works great for 1S lipos. I would not recommend it for 2S and above however because you cannot balance charge each.

Based on my experiences, I would say only two would charge properly using the 2.1 amp slots. I would not trust the two 1 amp slots as my devices had to be turned off to charge or would end up depleted in the morning, even though they last over a full day without charging.

They aren't even 4000mah @ 500ma discharge rate. They don't even have the (advertized) capacity of 18650's. After a few charge/discharge cycles they (4 cells) average out at about 3150mAh. The lower the price, the more creative the advertizing.On my charger the mah in is only about 3200mah. Did they not say the 6000mah was TOTAL for the two batteries.

yes I think they are the same, the difference they are designed for different mah (mili amp hours), this determines their output and service between charges. the larger the mah, the stronger the battery

A few months ago, I received a 7.4 900mah Li-ion. Not so sure that .2 would make any difference at all.

I do not know the answer to your question. All I can say is that I have not had any issues with overcharging or over discharging of these batteries. I have been using this type of batteries (5000mAH) for the last two years.

I have this set-up and it works well with 2 batteries. I have been pleasantly surprised at how long I am able to burn the 600 in this configuration. Purchase the dual charger as well.

Perhaps you should look deeper and see if both batteries are of the same capacity? Milli Amp capacity? Run both numbers that you have through Amazon, or LG which ever website is more capable (or both) and see if one battery is smaller capacity than the other. As I remember, this battery is either 1000 or 1100 milli amp capacity. all of the batteries are 3.7 volt Lithium type. Happy research. dot

Depends how much drained. I charge my half drained 4s 5000mah in 2hrs. Hope this helps. I really like mine especially the safety feature that after fully charged it will not over charge your battery. This is huge for me. I sometimes tend to forget that I am charging my battery. Hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks. Dan

You get two of the small ones, 1.5hr, tho I've herd some sellers are not giving two in the kit, so ask the seller, but if they are the recons.. your getting them from one seller witch more than likely you'll get two because I've herd of only one seller do RECONS ! (see my review on this set if you have any Q&A's, you maybe buying from the same seller, witch may answer any other questions you may have). If I was you, I'd go get a 3hr one, they will work on the same charger and take care of any long term job, while the two 1.5hr battery(s) are charging.
