ziaibrahimadv@yahoo.com Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I have short the fuse points and install an 25amp automotive fuse according to the diagram. Oled become on but when i attached the tank/atomizer and press the power button an error is displaying i.e, "Check Battery".When i plugged the charger, it does not charge the battery.(1) wiring (2) board turned on with the battery (1) Escribe Battery Status (2) Board plugged with charger but not charging the battery. now i cant understand what is the problem?

dwcraig1 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Someone can guide you on this better than myself but it appears that your battery is to low for the charger to work normally.Use " battery recovery" in the search box of this forum to learn more till more folks come online.

ziaibrahimadv@yahoo.com Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Maybe the battery is too much low.... is there any other way to charge the battery..... i have a Nitecore single 8650 charger can i charge my lipo pack with it?It is also said that if the battery is too much low it could be dangerous.

VapingBad Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 A hobby charger or USB recovery charge in EScribe, I am 99% sure the Nitecore will not charge low cells, Most XTar chargers will, but even then you would need to make up a lead and charge one cell at a time.In device monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VapingBad Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 The fuse is mainly to protect the battery from a short in the mod and the auto fuse will be fine for that, it will be a little slower to blow than the SMD one so not 100% as good, all I can say is go by what John and James said in the other thread, they both work for Evolv John designed the board and I James does the software.

johara45 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 What is the warranty on these DNA boards anyways? Or do they not have one at all? For what its worth, I loved these DNA's until I just popped the fuse tonight. It was all my fault though for accidently installing the batteries backwards. Then it got me thinking for how expensive these DNA devices are and how advanced they're suppose to be compared to others on the market, it's actually quite a huge step backward from a technological point of view. I mean I can't think of that many regulated mods, or even much electronic devices that don't have some kind of reverse polarity protection. And self repairing or sending it back to evolve for repair is a pain in the ass. Anyone have any ideas on a really great mod on the market? I love everything this chip is capable of, but not having reverse polarity while most other regulated mods do, for me puts the DNA chips at a level as not being any better. I hope that another company will release something promising, then I wouldn't feel so bad letting go of my other 4 without having regrets. Any ideas?

dwcraig1 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Being in the US certainly makes it easier to send it to Evolv than from other places. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. A DNA75 has the reverse polarity built in to the board ...if 75 watts will do you.http://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
