Helpful tip for all users Review by Steven

This item works great, but here's a little helpful tip for all users out there. If the charger seems like it no longer is working properly, make sure the contact on the charger that meets the battery is clean and free of black stuff. I thought I had a bad battery or a bad charger and when I looked at the contact point on the charger, it was covered with black gunk that I had to scrape off. Now it's clean and functionally perfectly. It goes straight to the red light now when plugged in indicating that it's charging, rather than staying green all of the time. (Posted on 3/9/12)

Question Review by Doug

Will the chargers that came with my Magma kit charge the Super battery or do I need to buy the USB adaptor for the Super battery? Also the tanks for my Magma will work on the Super battery correct?

Volcano- its a completely different adapter that screws on to the top of the super battery

Green/Red Light and USB charging. Review by Ancient

I have found that depending on your PC's USB configuration and your device usage, the charger cannot get the full 5v it is supposed to if you have other things drawing on the same powered group of USB ports. Usually, each group of two ports will only have 5v available between them both so only one thing that draws power should be used in each pair at a time. My problem was that I was running the 650mah on the PT, AS WELL as trying to charge my 1000mah with both plugged into the same USB pair and the super charger would just never turn red unless the light on the base of my 650mah went out when it was fully charged. This is not a problem with the charger or your battery, it is a limitation of most standard USB ports. Unless you have a USB port with a little lightning bolt icon next to it, which is a newer USB passthrough port designed for charging USB devices and should provide an unshared and steady 5v, even if the laptop or PC is shut down.

When I looked into it and did a bit of testing, I found that I would need to use a USB port from another unused USB pair or at least one that is not providing power to something else for the super charger to work properly. I fully agree with SmokeyJoe that using the wall adapter is the way to go for charging the 1000mah batteries when you have access to a wall outlet, unless of course that is not an option, then try to make sure all your other USB devices that draw power are unplugged and it should go red and charge in a reasonable amount of time. If the light on the charger is green, IT IS NOT CHARGING! The light will be red until it is fully changed and then it will turn green to let you know it is fully charged and good to go.

Green or red light Review by Hotnfresh

Good post SmokeyJoe, I was wondering that. Though for some reason the USB charger stays lit green all the time when plugged into the computer. I think it's recharging, I dunno, I just got it but figured it should be red until it's actually charged. Plugged into the wall via Magma charger and now it's red while charging. I love volcano products but you can obviously tell the chargers and cables are made in China. (Posted on 1/13/11)

Works as described Review by SmokeyJoe

Not much to review on this, it does what it's supposed to. What I do want to give people a heads up on is the charging times. If you only buy this usb wire to charge your super inferno battery, and use only a usb port on your computer, it takes a long time to charge. It took almost 5 hours for mine to charge. Then I tried charging it with the plug (for an outlet) that you can buy, and it cuts the time almost in half. So I would recommend using the plug with it or using the plug that came with your magma or volcano with this usb wire. No need to buy the inferno plug if you already have a magma or volcano plug, cause they output the same thing, 5 volts. (Posted on 11/29/10)
