I am at work right now, and my elite (according to the USPS) is in my mailbox.

I am going to charge it as soon as I get home, what is the full charge time for the PCC?

And what is the full charge time for each battery?

I want to ensure a long life out of my pcc and batts, so I wanna fully charge them the first time.

Thanks for the info!

I know I could probably read this in the manual, but Im too impatient!!!!

It's hard to say exactly because they usually show up with some charge in them. Plug the PCC in and start a battery charging. The PCC will charge the batt first before it starts to take on a charge. Elite batts usually take about 30 minutes from dead to full. The window on the PCC will turn blue when the battery is done charging and then you can use it. I usually charge my PCC overnight so my best guess would be that it takes 3 or 4 hours at most to go from fully dead to fully charged.

oh okay. cuz I do want to try my elite asap. I just wanted to make sure that I can plug in the pcc, put in a batt, then maybe 30ish minutes later "light" it up without hurting the cig batts.

Thanks!

This type of battery doesn't have memory so you won't hurt them if you jump the gun. You just may only get a few drags before you have to charge.

Batteries are relatively inexpensive and using them from the get go won't do any harm. Charge one battery with the PCC plugged into the usb/plug. Start vaping on the other one.

At some point, your eCig will start blinking letting you know the batter is discharged and even if you try to take a couple more hits/drags, it won't really let you or you won't get anything out of it. By then, your other battery is ready to go, keep the PCC plugged into the usb/plug and just hold down the button for 2 seconds and it will start charging the battery again and once that is done, your PCC will continually charge.

As Phoenix stated, there is no memory in the batteries.

There is no technical specification behind my statement here but by the time your battery to truly die completely, it would be time to purchase another one anyway which would be several months from now.
