Can you put up a picture of the bottom of the board where the wires attach?

In your 1st post it shows it powered on with the battery, I don't think it would be able to do that with a bad fuse. Does your battery have plugs or did you have to solder the wires to the board? Are you sure that the first battery was bad? What was the problem do you think with the first battery? I'm hoping to get some more info posted on it so when the folks more experience than me come on maybe they will have something to add.

So if increased output could be done with a firmware update, say 225 watts, would it not require a higher amp fuse?

That sounds like it wouldn't be cost effective then as you can just reduce the charge on a standard quality pack to 12.3 and achieve the same end. Edit: I forgot to add the "not" to "wouldn't"....I corrected that.

Would it still be 1300 Mah when charged to just 12.6 volts? That's as high as the board will charge it I think.

I use this calculator http://www.the12volt.com/ohm/ohmslawcalculators.asp It going to be hot ohms

Fading I guess, it looks just like the rest of them that I have.

I received my Protovapor Silo today, a great job they did. It came properly set up and included a nice cable, instructions and warranty card. So a big shout out to Evolv, Protovapor and Modcrate.

That comes out to 6.17 volts, looks like you nailed it VB EDIT: it appears that I plugged in some wrong numbers into the calculator...5.96v it is.

Have you tried another device that uses data on that same USB port? Tried another USB port or even another computer? Has the computer been rebooted since noticing this problem? Have you tried a different usb cable?

The bottom paragraph in the link below explains it better than I would have. /topic/68073-topic/?do=findComment&comment=912472

Lithium Polymer (Lipo)

Possible

Here: /topic/66731-topic/ Get the one that says "RECOMMENDED" Uninstall the EScribe that you have and install this one.

Sent you a PM

A 25 amp fuse is on the input. Whether there is two cells or twenty the board sees it as one battery.

I used my Hotcig DX200. Atty read 0.020? on the screen, took 6 drags and pulled the battery then put it right back in. Atty read 0.023? on the screen. Put it away and got it back out later and it was back to 0.020 ?

Well the fuse is 25 amp so.............

The specs call for a min 23 amp battery (lipo) 11.1 v @ 23 amp. With some 18650's you only get 11.1 v @ 20 amp (for example) so you can set it to not draw more than the cells can safely output. The board steps the voltage down while stepping the amperage up, 23 amps in can get 55 amps out but at a lower voltage. Edit: I would think if it were to be set lower than 23 amps that the 50 - 55 amp output would decrease some as well.

The poster was comparing Sony VTC4's with LG HE2's, 2100 Mah vs 2500 Mah. Question was "which battery curve to use".

Perhaps your looking for something like this? /topic/65591-topic/

0.004 is in the expected range.

I'm still at work without my tool, not sure how the cold ohms correlates to raw ohms. Does it change when you screw it in and out?

By setting mod resistance to zero before checking mod resistance with your tool.

So you did set mod resistance to zero and upload to the mod first right?
