mrmason Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Posted October 20, 2015 Hi,Can anyone recommend places for spare batteries for the Lavabox? I've tried hobbyking and they have nothing that fits.I'm in the UK so UK vendors are preferred due to postage restrictions on batteries.
AlohaBill Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Aloha,I was at the local Volcano Store in Kaneohe a couple of days ago, and they told me that Volcano planned on selling replacement batteries and would be offering them soon (don't know what that means in terms of when).I don't know how available that would be for you in the UK. Hope this helps.
Guest Posted December 6, 2015 Report Posted December 6, 2015 It's the FullyMax 3s 10Wh battery. Evolv is selling it on their website for $19.99. http://www.evolvapor.com/dna200.php
Margucci Posted December 9, 2015 Report Posted December 9, 2015 volcano started selling them in a kit with the connectors you need installed already. check the website.
firemandan26 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 Is there a battery that would fit in the mod and give it a little more life time?
Margucci Posted January 2, 2016 Report Posted January 2, 2016 in the same size space, not that i have seen. there is someone who made a 3d printed spacer which would give you extra space in the battery compartment and you can put a larger battery in.

There was a recent YouTube video and Reddit thread with someone using a VT200 battery. However there were many that complained that even though it's a 1300mah battery you would only get 1100mah at most due to faulty specs released by hcigar. The battery does fit though
Margucci Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 And the battery gets hotter and doesn't have as high of a current limit. They are just sub par batteries.
KGNTSTNY Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 Anyone knows how do i replace the connector on the battery?Just bought one here for my Lavabox but it doesn't comes with a connector. I'm still staring at those batteries wondering how. Please advice guys...
VapingBad Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 De-solder and resolder the connector from the old battery or get a new connector, I think the connectors are XT30 about 6mm by 11 mm, if they are bigger they are XT60. Be very careful to only work on one wire at a time including cutting the wires and insulate with heat shrink (the stuff with adhesive inside is best) before working on the other wire, never have both wires exposed at the same time. They are easier to solder if you have a spare for the other side of the plug not connected to act as a heat sink.
lewisss Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 From the way you are asking, I don't think you will like the answer:- Cut off the old connector, cut off the black heat shrink wrapping, desolder the old wire from the plug, put heat shrink over new wires, cut new wires to length (one at a time!) Strip insulation from new wires and solder to old plug, slide heat shrink up and heat till formed. And you are done! Or you can get a new connector and solder that on.

KGNTSTNY Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 I think i am really fxxked. LOL! I totally don't know what's going on.Maybe i try asking around those shops selling remote control cars or helicopters and hope they will do it for me.Still don't understand why they (evolvapor.com) just ship it with the connector. Sigh...Anyway, thanks guys! You people are really fast here. Definitely better than sending "them" email...

Sigh...Anyway, thanks guys! You people are really fast here. Definitely better than sending "them" email... Any electronics or radio repair shop could do it, but they don't ship with a connector as there is no standard connector and the Evolv Reference Mod doesn't use a connector at all. The XT30 isn't even standard in the world of RC it is a smaller version of the XT60 that HobbyKing devised and I am not sure that anyone else produces them, you can find them on eBay and from some mod parts stores.
lewisss Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 Where do you live, you might be close to someone on here!
KGNTSTNY Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 Now i know. Went back to the site to check it out and realise it states (no connector) i didn't know what was it until today.Thanks guys for the help!
