scoopy Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I don't guess it matters which side u hook the positive and negative to on the power resistor rite? Mine don't say anything like that on it so I assumed it didn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoopy Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 How long do u think a maxamps 2250 will take to test..... And what wattage do u think I should run the test using the 100 watt 1 ohm power resistor I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepetro Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 How long depends on what wattage. Only running the one resistor I wouldnt go above 40w. I dont have any experience running at that wattage. Testing a 1300mAh at 100w took about an hour all said and done.BTW, are you sure your resistor is 100W? Those big ones in my photos are only 50W.

scoopy Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Ya it was one John recommended I believe I can't figure out how to share the link but it's on amazon and is a... Amico 100 watt 1 ohm aluminium case wirewound resistor Look it up on amazon and letting me know what u think and what wattage to run the test at if u don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisss Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 This is what I use for the battery analyser. (No "z" in the uk) Got a mixed pack of power resistors from maplin and used 4x 1 ohm into a velocity deck, 2200mah takes over 2 hours at 40w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Here's my setup, a 12 volt 35 watt quartz bulb.About 0.5 ohm cold. I haven't done it yet but this is what I probably will use. There is quite a bit of heat so care must be taken, at least the heat it away from the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Well folks, the above setup failed due to " LOW OHMS", I'll run the battery down vaping it tonight as I want to run the case analyzer.I understand that 1 ohm is recommended.

mikepetro Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 0.25 ohms works as long as they are rated for enough watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 "Low Ohms" would come on the screen of the mod periodically so I stopped it, will try again with two lamps in series.My cold ohms was 0.5 and I had to turn off TP as it went to immediate TP when firing.

awsum140 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 My solution to a load for the battery analyzer. I started with the case from a 3000 watt inverter that had bit the bullet. I think this will handle up to the full 200 watts without a problem. The resistors have heat sink grease on them and are wired with 10 gauge solid wire.

mrminimal Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi guys!Has anyone yet made the battery analyzer test for the BOXER MOD DNA200 with the zippy lipo? If yes I´d be interested what the results are.Thanks in advance and enjoy the awesome DNA200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingbling Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Planning to run the battery analyzer, and I know there are lots of sweet setups suggested here with resistors and stuff. I don't have access to stuff like that, so I was thinking of doing it with loops of wire sitting in free air. Would a build like this running the 2 wires in a loop be enough to take the heat off? Or do I need something even more overkill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make five well spaced wraps with kanthal and give yourself some long leads to get it away from the mod. Remove from the broom handle or whatever you used. You are basically making a giant free air coil. That should work just fine and you can adjust the wattage of the test down if you are worried.

bingbling Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 So I am doing the battery analyzer at the moment. I made a 3,4 ohm coil from 24awg around a mechmod. It keeps flashing Ohms too high during the test. Is that ok or should I make a lower ohm free air coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsidab81 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I would think 3.4 ohms is pretty high, could you make a similar and put the two in parallel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingbling Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 dsidab81 said:I would think 3.4 ohms is pretty high, could you make a similar and put the two in parallel?Yeah its a bit high, I was just following the prevoius advice and it ended up at 3,4 ohm. I wanted something I knew for sure could handle the heat. The test is nearly finished now anyways so it doesnt matter. I dont think it matters if it says to high ohm, the battery still depletes which is the point.Edit. The test ended with 10.93Wh. Quite a bit off from the advertised 14,43Wh on the HCigar. A bit of a letdown really. On the positive side, the battery meter should be spot on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx3dge Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I ran my hcigar vt200 and got 10.77 wh. So its really a 950mah ish lipo. I've ran this battery through maybe 15 cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have a Lavabox and set mine in Escribe to 9.9 as per the wattage calculator for the battery. I'm not convinced it's correct though as I'm getting weak battery at around 50%. I have a Velocity so if I get 4 wirewound 10W 1 Ohm resistors and put one end in each post hole and tighten in place, and run the test at 40W that should be okay?

I've seen people on e-ciggaretteforum claiming to have ran the analyzer and getting the full 1300mAh, but I am wondering if they're just talking out their asses lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need either resistors that arer made to withstand high effect, or some kind of cooling to take the heat of the resistor. I did it the easy way, just make a giant spaced coil with long leads of 24awg kanthal. I did go overboard on the laps tho haha. So no need to make it as high as I did (3,4 ohm). During the test at 40W the wires barely got warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx3dge Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I did my test at 40w with two 24g single coil hoops omhing out about 1.5omh barely got warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
