wiss2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 My screen will show it's at 100% but the mod is still drawing power to charge and will usually drop from 1.96a down to 0.332a and lower when it get's to 100%, i have hooked the device up to escribe and the cells will keep fluctuating from 4.20v to 4.21v. Just wondering if the mod will stop drawing power completely and a sign will come up saying ''fully charged''I aint the best at explaining myself but i hope i've made my point lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 It may be balance charging, that drains the highest cell periodically, then charges all 3 until they are in balance. No it does not have a battery full message, but it will stop when all the cells are full and balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are seeing is perfectly normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiss2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just checked my Therion and the amps showed 0.00 and usb watts dropped right down 0.01 and it completely stopped charging. so it looks like i haven't been fully charging my batteries Checked escribe and the battery volts stayed at 4.21v, im such a noob.Thanks again everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Li chargers must stop charging when full, that is very important and in extreme cases can be dangerous. You can see them slowly reducing current as they are topping off the battery which can be anything between 10 to 40 minutes and if they have to balance charge it could be far longer. As long as you batteries stay below 4.25 V you are fine, personally I like to charge them to 4.1 V as that can double their life and only cost you about 10% capacity.

giz_60 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The lowest I have ever seen my Therion amps drop to was .005...at least now ya know what the full charge condition looks like in Device Monitor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
