KevyFenty Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm new to modding and I am messing with the DNA75. I have it wired up in parallel with fresh batteries (VTC4) and it keeps showing check battery. I have checked continuity throughout the board and the board is getting the true 4.2v. Atty side it shows maybe .1 Volts. I have read that there is a fuse in the DNA200 that would blow, causing a similar problem, But I have also read that the DNA 75 does not have this fuse. That being said, I bought the board in working condition in a moonshot box and I de-soldered the connections and re-soldered based on the Evolv website. Not sure where to go from here. Did I fry something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Could be poor battery connection causing an excessive voltage sag under load, you should be able to see that firing while connected to Device Monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevyFenty Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The device monitor shows nothing all, it cannot read the battery. And like I mentioned, the board is getting proper voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 So Battery - Pack is 0.0 V in Device Monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevyFenty Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 That is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I have never seen that before, maybe someone else can shed some light on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevyFenty Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I made sure it wasn't in lipo mode, check thresholds and for draw, can't find anything out of the ordinary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The only thing I can thing of is it is the wrong way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevyFenty Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I even tried switching connections around! Maybe something fried somewhere. That's my only thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 see if you have voltage after the reverse battery protection mosfet. (the pic below should look familiar to a certain someone!)(on the back of the boARD) check these 3 pins for batt voltage. only those 3 i have circled in red, the 4 pin (pin closest to the USB area is the gate, don't probe that)or(on the front of the board) if you can get through the conformal coating and solder mask, stick your DMM probe in anyone of these vias circled in red. there should be batt voltage there as well.

KevyFenty Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 It reads 4.2 across all three posts of that mosfet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spector NS5 RD Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 your testing those 3 pins without the USB plugged in, correct? any missing components from either side of the board? can you post a couple, good quality, shots of the board front and back? as a last ditch effort, try re-flashing the firmware on the board. it is possible you damaged the board, somehow, removing it from it's original enclosure (too much heat / slipped with the soldering iron and knocked off an SMD / stray solder blob is shorting a component). more than likely you'll be opening a help ticket with Evolv for a new board. link for help ticket....https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/?a=add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevyFenty Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Well, I was going over it again and ripped a part of the green cover on the board. Blehg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briantags88 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Anybody know how to fix the "weak Battery" issue while using the 22650 battery on the SKAR? i get the warning right around %80. I am running it at 42 watts. The 18650 batteries work just fine tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 My guess is that you are seeing "battery sag" with the 26650 which is not quite up to the task. You say 18650's work just fine so I suspect the 26650 battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz_60 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I was having the same issue with a 26650 on the Skar as well until I ran the battery analyzer. Now I can get down to about 5% or so. I run mostly in TC. I can actually watch the temperature sag before I even get any battery warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
