Place to share Battery Test Results.
mikepetro replied to mikepetro's topic in Batteries and Charging
Tell me what values you want tracked, I can add a "Cylindrical Cell" page to the Lipo database -

Place to share Battery Test Results.
mikepetro replied to mikepetro's topic in Batteries and Charging
All I can tell you is that this is the link I ordered "https://www.fasttech.com/p/3864308" what I got was actually labeled 40C. Never tried to test the actual C rating, I was just happy with the battery analyzer results. Measurements on the SS were taken by myself and dont match the website listing. I chalked it up to "they screwed up". -
DNA 75 Temperature Change-Wattage Change
mikepetro replied to access-denied's topic in General Discussion
Whenever that has happened to me I usually find that there is a problem with my coil. Check your cold-ohms while you are getting devil-butt, if they are higher than normal either work on the coil or lock ohms at the normal value. -

It might be good to make a footnote about this in the Datasheet. Several people have had similar panic moments expecting the screen to light up like the DNA200 did.

Contributes to the documentation of a product that was "existed" prior to some arbitrary date.

Please post a screen shot of Device Manager after you take a hit that gives the weak bat message. In many cases it because of voltage drop. There is so much voltage drop during the preheat that it triggers the message, but once preheat is over you most often find you had enough voltage to satisfy your temperature requirement for the hit. In other words, it may not be worth worrying about. Device Manager will tell us

Look at your cell #3. Unplug the battery, or at least the JST connector and manually measure the cells. If cell #3 is truly 0.8v then replace the battery. If cell #3 is more/less normal then RMA the board. While battery is out check the fuse. I hade one very similar, and the battery worked in another mod just fine. Mine looked like this and fuse was good, I RMAd the bard.

If all else fails, and you are concerned about the accuracy, run the Battery Analyzer on your mod. It will be dead nuts on the money after that. Its not uncommon for mass produced Lipos to vary in capacity, even within the same lot.

Weak Battery warning on a fresh 18650
mikepetro replied to Pathian's topic in Batteries and Charging
Yes, pretty normal. Dont worry about it though. It is probably voltage drop during preheat triggering the "weak bat" message. Take a look at it in Device Manager. -
Nice and short.... Thumbs up!

Strange Temp Control Issues (Not working at all)

Happened to me with a real low resistance build once. Swapped attys and all was cool. -
HCigar VT200 - Power auto-ramp up and not reading atomizer oHm

Just a shot in the dark, is it possible your "Up/+" button is stuck? -

Weak Battery warning on a fresh 18650
mikepetro replied to Pathian's topic in Batteries and Charging
Well, if it says anything, when I stocked for my 20 year FDApocolypse plan, I stocked a dozen DNA200 boards, and zero 75s. -
Weak Battery warning on a fresh 18650
mikepetro replied to Pathian's topic in Batteries and Charging
The HB6/HB4/HB2 all have nice current capability, and will certainly perform well, but with only 1500mAh it certainly wont last long. Lipo is still the choice for me. A 3000 1S Lipo can still be made into a reasonably small mod. -

Love my Lipo 75, gotta say...... -
Weak Battery warning on a fresh 18650
mikepetro replied to Pathian's topic in Batteries and Charging
You are quite right about voltage sag, look at these two (albeit mediocre choices) of 18650, then look at the lipo sag on the last screen cap. -

mikepetro replied to Pathian's topic in Batteries and Charging
Nifethal is not one of the "materials" that ships loaded in the DNA75, so you are largely charting unknown territory. What would be most helpful is if you post a screen cap of Device Monitor while you are taking a hit and getting the low battery message. Otherwise we are only guessing as to whats going on.
