VapingBad Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Factors that will reduce the charge rate are board temp (you can show that on the charge screen) and poor cable with too much voltage drop. The current can also be limited in device manager and it is worth checking that is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapourFrank Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I tried multiple cables and boxes..all cables no change..Difference between 1amp and 2amp is only .1amp current difference between the two.. Also tried setting amp current to 2.0amps, no change. I even tried setting the current limit to .1 with no effect ( still charges at .2 amps) I restored to default settings and reinput battery values and now I have 0amps.. no current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabada Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi,Iâve got the same problem on my DNA. So, I plugged my DNA on a laboratory power supply with a fixed voltage and current. (voltage = 5v, current = 2A). Guess what? Same problem, my DNA only consume 0.31 A (Confirmed by the PSU)! So I've tested with all my usb cable. The result: my Triade 250 consumes 1.98 A (confirmed by PSU), only with the little tiny usb cable suppled with it ! So, my advise is to use the little cable with a tablet charger (often supply a current of 2.1 A). I hop this helps you. Sorry for my english (itâs note my native language).
