## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone else having problems with heat from right chamber when charging 18650 batteries?**
A: Hi, to be honest I only charge 1 battery at a time as I alternate between 2 for my plato mod. I suppose sometimes once the battery (18650 Aspire) is fully charged the battery can feel warm but I just thought that was normal.

**Q: Does this come with a cable too?**
A: yes, it comes with a cable that plugs into the mains, and into the back of the charger unit

**Q: Hi. Can i use it for 2x2500 mAh 18650 batteries?**
A: Hello to you.  It charges all 18650 batteries.  It's an intelligent charger so the batteries are safely charged.  I originally bought a cheap charger from China on ebay for around £2:99.  It was awful.  Buy this charger.  It's good quality.

**Q: How do I know when my batteries are fully charged?**
A: Theyre are three lights on machine when the 3 green lights are all lit up batterys are fully charged
