It has to be fully charged to start battery analyzer. Case analyzer needs to have the battery on the low side. It should eventually start

I didn't try to fire it with only the balance connector on but as I posted earlier pack voltage was there but the cell voltages while adding up to the pack were unbalanced. Checked with a meter though they were balanced. I'll try again when I actually get up.

I had an extra lipo sitting here One of those Lion Power 1800's of an earlier topic...LOL

Did you dis-connect the usb for each step? Is that with the balance connector in?

First off the voltage being displayed in device monitor is what you need look at as what is on the display may not be accurate. Is the situation with needing jump started with the usb even after charging stops?

Good idea

This is really a long shot but have you tried completely disconnecting the battery ( both main plug and balance plug) and re-connecting it. This would amount to a hard re-boot. Might not help but should be easy enough to do.

Also see if you have battery voltage at pin #1

You might want to run the battery analyzer if your after good accuracy with the battery gauge.

Only your battery % display or battery symbol will not be accurate. I guess it came in a Vapecige mod correct?

I'll answer my own question as well as the poster's. Here's what I did, I removed the battery from my DX 200 and plugged it into EScribe. No cell voltage, no pack voltage listed in EScribe. Next I plugged just the balance connector from a loose balanced lipo into the DX 200 It read pack as well as cell voltages in EScribe but appeared unbalanced.. BTW it showed charging which I really didn't expect. The loose lipo was checked for balance with a meter. So with a blown fuse pack voltage will still be shown in EScribe. @WTVapes it appears that your fuse is gone.

It is pretty widely known that the capacity of this particular battery was overstated.

So does EScribe add up the voltages from the balance tap or is it read off the power side to get pack voltage? This is something I'm unsure about.

The Lion Power battery while labeled 1800 mah is closer to 1250 - 1300 mah. Use 1400 - 14.43 watt hours for the setting. As far as the changing numbers, I don't know.

You got it Here's my crude wiring for positive on the juice bottle and pin #3 (red one) Tape the wire to the side of the bottles cap. Do the same for the bottom of the juice bottle and insert into #2 (the white one you have arrow pointing. Probably best to get the bottle into the charger first then connect to #3 and 2 on balance plug. It should take 1 - 2 hours If you have a meter you can see if it's coming up or not. As I said in my original post " I didn't like that juice anyway" I sure did like the bottle though...LOL

Sorry , do you mean you want me to tell you again perhaps a bit more detailed?

Something around 24 gauge solid copper bell wire attached to the right length juice bottle.

I type slow

In the picture a couple posts back it is cell #3 that I'm charging, that's using two pins on the positive side of the connector. The outboard (#3) is positive and next one (#2) is negative. Mine got out of balance because I got e liquid between the connector and board. I thought it was the battery so I replaced it, soon it had the same problem. Then I cleaned the area and problem never came back.

It's safe (enough) Your only looking at 4.2 volts @ .7 amp Well the wiring must not short as it has quite a bit more power, connect the wires to the balance connector last and disconnect them first.

The pack is somewhat unbalanced, it's a very slow process using the on-board charger to get it balanced. It may eventually balance or perhaps cell 3 won't charge any higher due to a bad cell. If you have a meter check the voltages on the balance connector or the power wires, your voltages add up to 12.1 volts and see if they match up to what EScribe says. BYW 12.1 is 95 +% roughly of 12.6 volts

What does device monitor say the battery voltages are?

Generally when it only comes on when plugged in with the usb the fuse has blown. What does it show in EScribe for pack and cell voltages?

Is this in temp mode or power mode? I would set the mod resistance back to zero and check it with the copper plug again to see if you still get 0.004? Edit: don't forget to upload the zero setting
