Nathan, I apologize. I did some digging and saw that hcigar advertises it's battery as having a capacity of 3900 milliamps. So, yes, each cell would be 1300 milliamps. Nevertheless, I still remain cautious around Chinese lipos. Hope you got your charging problem fixed.

I've got a different problem. I use a Chromebook. Anyone know if I'll be able to access escribe someway without jumping through hoops? thx

I've been exploring the world of lipos and, although I am not an expert, I don't trust Chinese made lipos and, I may be wrong but, I think that's what's in the hcigar. The Chinese mod makers also have a habit of calling out the mAh readings as a total of the 3 separate cells (that are in series). So, your 1300 mAh batt has 3 cells with about 430 mAh each. Maybe one of your cells is failing?

I would replace it with a lipo that evolve approves of such as the one mentioned in the data sheet. Or here's a link to an excellent lipo: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11951__Turnigy_nano_tech_2200mah_3S_45_90C_Lipo_Pack.html

This particular one is probably too big for your box but they offer others. Good luck. I'd like to hear the outcome.

Who makes the 1300mAh battery in the vt200?
