18650 Battery in kanger kbox 40 . how to recharge?

[John C]

Possibly a dumb question. I only know egos and my istick 50 -- so im thinking of buying the kbox 40 W as a second mod for some family and myself. Uses 18650 batteries.

So -- do I connect a USB wire to the kbox to charge that sucker or do I have to buy a charger?

Sorry if this was obvious somewhere but you'd be surprised at how most sites assume one knows this already...

I've always read to charge in a charger, so I do. I'm all for safety.

There's no USB port on the Kbox, so you'll need to get a (good) battery charger for the battery!

K box 40 doesn't have a charging port, will need a charger.

Thanks guys! Is this a constant thing for all replaceable-battery mods? They all require a charger?

Yes. Some do have a USB charging ablity, but it's generally considered best to use a charger.

You just need at least one more battery. Gotta have a fresh one while the other is charging.
