The batteries in your EGO-C charger come with some battery power from the manufacture, but it is recommended to charge your batteries to full capacity before their first use.
MANUFACTURES CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEW BATTERY:
To charge the batteries you can use a standard USB plug from any computer, laptop, PS3, etc. use a wall outlet using the AC adapter. Charge time for a dead battery are approximately 2-3 hours.
NOTE: Not all USB ports are the same. It is recommend to use only USB ports that are directly connected to the computer and not extension USB ports. The voltage required for the USB charger may not be met by some laptop and extension USB connections.
When charging your battery, simply screw the battery clockwise into the USB charger until the light on the charger changes from green to red. When the light is red, the battery is charging. The light on the charger will turn green when the battery is fully charged. NOTE: The battery charger may pulse a green or yellow light during charging. This is normal. The battery is not charged until the LED light is green.
Your EGO-C batteries feature a 5 click to lock feature. Simply click your EGO-C battery button 5 times within 2 seconds and your battery will lock. It will flash 3 times to verify it is locked. To unlock just repeat the process, clicking the battery button 5 times within 2 seconds.
Important notes and safety precautions about charging your EGO-C battery:
The EGO-C electronic cigarette is in five parts. From the bottom to the top, they are called:
Before you fill an EGO-C tank you may have to puncture the bottom hole where the atomizer spike goes in. To do this you simply insert the EGO-C tank into the atomizer vertically, and push until you hear a click. Give your tank a small 1/4 circle twist, and then remove the tank from your atomizer. There may be a small plastic chad, or hanging piece on your tank that you should remove.
Once your tank hole has been punched, you have a few options for filling up your tank. You may use the enclosed needle tipped bottle top with a bottle of e-liquid. To do this simply insert the needle tip into the bottom hole and gently squeeze the sides of the bottle. Ensure you do not push the needle tip too far into the hole, as air must escape from the tank as you fill. Just insert it about 1/2 an inch (2-3 cm) and gently fill. You can also use a syringe with a needle tip. Finally if you do not have any other method you can remove the cap of the tank and fill it with e-liquid.
Extra tank notes:
Now that your batteries are charged and your EGO-C is filled with e-liquid, you are ready to vape. Here are several things to keep in mind before you begin:
Here is some more information about different parts of your e-cigarette:
The atomizer:
When replacing the atomizer head, unscrew the atomizer base from the atomizer cone and pop out the atomizer head. Clean the cone and base thoroughly. Hold the atomizer base vertically and set the atomizer head on top of it. The atomizer head does not need to be pushed into the base, it simply sites on top. The atomizer cone will push the atomizer head snugly onto the base. Once the atomizer head is sitting on the base, slide the atomizer cone over the atomizer head and screw it into the base.
Cleaning your battery:
Over time e-liquid can get built up on the threads of your battery. Cleaning it is pretty simple to do. I recommend using a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol (or vodka) and inserting it into the hole at the top of the battery. Simply spin it over the threads. Repeat until the Q-Tip has no e-liquid residue on it. You can also use paper towel that is twisted up to do the same thing.
The EGO-C batteries are lithium ion and have no memory, so you do not need to completely drain your battery before recharging them. If you are planning on storing them for an extended period of time, you should discharge the batteries to around 50% and store in a cool dark place. To extend the life of your batteries, do not let them fully discharge before recharging.
If your EGO-C battery gets wet, place your battery in a zip lock bag with a cup of rice for 48 hours. The rice will draw the liquid from the battery and dry it. NOTE: Never attempt to charge or use a wet battery. This can cause the battery and/or charger to short.
The EGO-C batteries have an automatic shutoff after 12 seconds of continuous use. The battery light will blink 5 times indicating the battery automatic shutoff has been activated. After a few seconds your battery will be ready to use again. This is designed to prevent accidental discharge of the battery. When carrying your EGO-C electronic cigarette, it is recommended to lock your batteries. Simply click the button 5 times within 2 seconds to lock. To unlock do the same.
The charger is a two piece unit, with an AC adapter as well as a USB adapter. The USB adapter can be used on its own by simply plugging it into a USB port. To charge your EGO batteries with AC power, just plug the USB charger into the USB port on the AC adapter and then plug the AC adapter into any standard wall plug. You can clean your charger threads the same way you do your battery. The spacing is tight between the battery threads and the wall of the charger, so be gentle when cleaning it. Do not leave your charger plugged in when not in use. Do not leave a charging battery unattended.
Your EGO-C electronic cigarette comes with 5 tanks. These tanks are blank (dry) and will need to be filled with e-liquid to work. The tanks can be re-used many times, but eventually the connection between the tanks and the atomizer will weaken.
Tanks can be cleaned. Simply run hot water through the tank for a few minutes, from both the top and the bottom. Allow 48 hours to dry.

BATTERY NOT CHARGING
If your batteries are not charging in your USB charger, there are a few things that can be looked at.
1. Clean your connections. The most common reason for chargers not working is that e-liquid has gunked inside of the charger. Using a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol or vodka, gently clean the threads of both your charger and your batteries. Continue to clean until your Q-Tips come out clean. ADVANCED: There are two screws that can be removed from your charger, allowing for full access to the threads for a thorough clean.
2. Check your power source. Sometimes the USB port does not have the power to fully power the USB charger. Try another USB port, preferably one that is connected directly to a computer.
Tank is leaking
When the tank is leaking, there are a number of possible reasons. One is that your tank lid is not sealed properly. The second is that your tank is worn out, and the hole in the bottom has become too loose. The third is that the tank is not secured tightly into the atomizer. Here are a few general tips for reducing the chances of your tank leaking:
E-Liquid is getting into the mouthpiece
Well e-liquid does not taste good to say the least, but there are several things you can do to prevent or at least greatly reduce this happening. E-liquid into the tank mouthpiece is almost always a result of one of three things. Improper airflow, a leaking tank, or too aggressive drawing through your e-cigarette. Most e-cigarettes work best with longer and gentler draws. Try increasing the length of your draws, but reducing the power of your draws. If e-liquid is leaking out of your tank and pooling on top of the metal heating coil cover it can be drawn into the air flow chambers. Ensure your tank is not leaking by using the steps above under "Tank is leaking".
