[Therion 75C batterry draining]

I know that in order to measure the capacity the capacitor must be removed from the card, for this reason I asked if anyone knew the correct value. I'll try to remove it to see how it works. send it to evolve for me is too expensive, I write from Italy. Thanks for the reply @ChunkyButt200

Most anything with a PCB (circuit board) has ceramic capacitors these days. These MLCC capacitors are notorious for failing due to a wide variety of situations, but mainly heat and mechanical stress (drops) are the big two causes. This type of failure is common to everything from our vape devices to cell phones and everything in between. These ceramic caps can fail full short to partial short. It sounds to me like you may have a cap on the batt rail that is partially shorted to ground. I suspect a lot of these "my device drains cells when idle" or "my device gets hot when idle" could be this very problem. No fault of Evolv's, it just the nature of electronics. That's where Evolv's or the manufacturers warranty comes into play.

I think I have the same problem with my therion 75c bf. the box has already been repaired by the service center that found a shorted capacitor. after a month of correct functioning the problem has arisen again and given the symptoms I think it's the new fault of the condenser in question. I looked at the component but I did not find codes, someone knows the correct value of capacity? sorry for my bad english
