Just wondering if anyone else has tried to run the Battery Analyzer at 75W. I've tried with a Vapedroid, Thinkvape and a test system I built just to test batteries. I haven't been able to get a single test run completed. Keep getting too hot error that stops the test. Usually after 10 or so on/off cycles. If anyone has tested at 75W successfully, I would love to get a full copy of the CSV file to do a puff count. I'm trying to calculate how many battery swaps a single battery squonk mod needs for a days vaping for xx% of users... using the new 2x700, 20650 and IJOY 26650 cells. All I have to go on is my personal stats right now.

Hopefully this is me missing something... I've tried to have Device Monitor graph data while running the Battery Analyzer (board temp, current, etc). They don't seem to be able to run parallel. Am I wrong? Any work around? I'd really like to thank Evolv for including these tools in Escribe. I'd guess they built the tools during R&D for their own use. Leaving them in for its customers isn't usually done. It might result in a bunch of customer questions that need to be dealt with, but these tools are invaluable for any manufacturer.. Plus educated users (and there's a bunch in this forum) can act as a sort of immediate tech support.

I would like to have a DNA250 faceplate with the screen cut out rounded top and bottom... Not just rounded edges but an arc (No straight line) top and bottom. I know that the Theme tab allows you to change or replace any of the status and error messages with images. While the images must be 128 x 32 pixel monochrome bitmaps... I could design a screen that leaves empty space in the corners. But I didn't see anything that would allow me to change the font size of the main display. Chattering the font size would be one way to allow rounded top/bottom I'm hoping I'm wrong and someone can correct me, or tell me another way. I've seen pictures of a few oval screen cut outs, never one live so I could see if any screen info is cut off Any help would be appreciated.

I have spent the last few months testing a bunch of LiPo packs, but mostly testing the high drain 18650 and every 20700, 21700, 20650 that I can buy, including the elusive 20700A. I've only missed the Samsung 30T. Some tests have been using the large heatsink with high quality 1 ohm resistors. I've also done quite a bit of testing with the West Mountain system where I can play around with on/off times (example 5s on/off four times in a row, then a 2 minute off cycle.. kind of like how people vape). I'm just getting ready to automate a system that will duplicate my vaping style (on/off, time between puffs, hours per day vaping, etc). It will switch to a second mod with fresh batteries to simulate a battery change out. It will rest during normal non vaping hours, etc. This is a bit of overkill, except that I can/will use the system as a final QA/QC procedure post manufacturing, and I'm using it to select the best batteries for a specific device. Since I'm designing a mod, I've also been measuring cell temperature inside my mod at different ambient temperatures. Also I've tested using different battery contacts. What I've found in all my testing is that the number I keep coming back to its how many pulses (puffs) before the batteries cannot maintain setpoint (say 100 watts) for 5 seconds. My test results using Escribe battery analyzer do not match the testing done by Mooch. Two possible reasons 1) his cells are not contained in a box with other heat generating components, 2) the on/off times are different (10/20 vs 5/30). Is there any interest in sharing battery analyzer information for Li-ion cells,, similar to the LiPo database? Along with the battery info I think you would find that different devices perform differently, likely due to quality of battery contacts (which vary widely when compared to LiPo packs) plus internal heating /dissipation. So if we get four users posting data for Sony VCT5A's but they have different mods, that could be meaningful device information. With all of the new 20 & 21mm cells coming out a lot of people will be making mod decisions and battery decisions. Data gathered through Escribe, in my opinion will be the best source.

I've seen comments that the watts you run battery analyzer at does not affect the outcome... For the most part I agree if you are testing 3S LiPo packs. The analyzer will still keep counting Wh even if the batteries can't reach the watt set point. This affects LiPo packs slightly (

Question for Mike... The link on the spreadsheet for the ZOP 1500 40C battery goes to a ZOP 1500 mAh 20C . On Fasttech the 40C version is much larger than the 71 x 34 x 23 mm listed on the spreadsheet. Other sellers have very different sizes for a ZOP 1500 40C , Banggood.com lists it at 9.5*34*66MM. The test results are very impressive for the two ZOP 1500 batteries you tested so I really want to order the same one. Any advice?.--- A very big thank you to everyone involved in the testing, very valuable resource--- hoping I can contribute with some "graphene" batteries I'm buying for test.
