The standard charging time for an IGET Bar Plus is approximately 45 to 60 minutes for a full charge from empty.
Here’s a detailed guide to ensure you charge your device safely and effectively:
Key Charging Facts for IGET Bar Plus:
Charging Port: Located at the bottom of the device. Use the provided or a compatible USB-C cable.
Indicator Lights:
While Charging: The LED light at the base will typically show a red light.
Fully Charged: The red light will turn green or turn off completely, depending on the specific batch/model.
Battery Capacity: The IGET Bar Plus has a built-in, non-removable battery designed for its 3500-puff lifespan.
Best Practices & Important Safety Notes:
Use the Right Charger: Always use a standard 5V/1A USB wall adapter (like an old phone charger) or a low-power USB port on a computer or power bank. Avoid fast chargers (e.g., 18W, 20W, etc.), as they can damage the battery and reduce its overall lifespan.
Do Not Overcharge: While the device has basic protection circuits, it’s a good practice to unplug it once the indicator shows a full charge. Avoid leaving it plugged in overnight or for extended periods unattended.
Do Not Use While Charging: It is strongly recommended not to vape while the device is charging. This can strain the battery and circuit, potentially causing overheating.
First Charge: There’s no need to “fully charge before first use” for modern lithium-ion batteries. You can use it straight out of the box and charge it when the vapour production weakens or the light indicates low battery.
How to Know When It Needs Charging:
You’ll know your IGET Bar Plus needs a charge when:
Vapour production becomes noticeably weaker.
The device’s indicator light flashes when you draw on it.
The flavour diminishes significantly (though this can also signal the e-liquid is running low).
A Note on Authenticity from iGetBaroz:
Charging behaviour can sometimes indicate a product’s authenticity. Genuine IGET products from authorised retailers like iGetBaroz have consistent and reliable battery performance. If your device charges abnormally fast (e.g., 15 minutes) or gets excessively hot during charging, it may be a sign of a non-genuine or faulty product.
In summary, plan for about an hour to safely charge your IGET Bar Plus using a standard power source, and always monitor it during the process.
