Gandera Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hey, so I built my first DNA 200 mod and tested it with a max amp 1850mah lipo and everything worked great, only problem was that battery was too big. So I went with the battery on the evolv site. Well after I connected that battery it was showing 0.1v, 2.6v and 3.8v for 1,2 and 3 cell respectively. I'm assuming I can't do anything to save this battery, just thought I would post here and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well that 2.6v and 3.8v shouldn't be a problem. That 0.1v... well open up Escribe, connect to the Device Monitor. And see that Diagnostic button, Advanced, and then Perform USB Recovery Charging. Keep an eye on it for 10 minutes max and if the voltage doesn't come up to say 2.5v in that time, just disconnected the USB. And I wouldn't try anymore with that battery.

BillW50 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Oh I just checked the Evolv EScribe manual to make sure I have everything right. And it is on the last page of mine and it also adds you must be connected to the Evolv server to perform this action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of anyone say theyve been sent a duff battery beffor, evolv where very careful choosing that brand, what a pisser,,,, asuming you havnt got fluxed up jst conections, (poor contacts) i would try running it flat, connect it to a bulb or somthing, then see if it charges equaly, batteries are strange creatures, the moor they work the better they perform..

I was even careful soldering the battery one lead at a time so I wouldn't short it. Can't win them all I guess haha. I'm also kinda leery about testing that battery any further since last time I had it hooked up to try a recovery charge #1 cell was showing 0.05v when I disconnected it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
