[QUOTE="A-team, post: 598412, member: 18790"] Have charged my WM12 while driving for 2 hours, took near the whole trip! When I charge at home, will charge in about half an hour to 45min - I run the thick charge cable of a dedicated high output USB port. My point, charging from your car's 12v accessory port is slow and limited in current (amps). Charging off mains is needed for those 18650 batteries, they are high current batteries so need to be fed/charged without restrictions. They do not suffer any memory effect problems so stick them on the charger overnight, go down to the local park the next day and give them a test. If they do not hold charge, do a warranty claim, it's not completely unusual to get a dud lithium battery. [/QUOTE]
