Bad USB Cable = Causing Check Battery?

[MikeTheVapeDude]

EDIT: FOUND THE ISSUE,

When hitting the mod on a charger, if the charger becomes loose (AKA the charge starts mid hit) it will display check battery. Try it on your own mod, all mine do it.

 

SOLVED. I really need new USB cables, all mine are 8-10 months old and are REALLY loose in the DNA USB ports, so when I'm hitting the mods on the charger sometimes the loose connection on the cable will stop and then start the charge in the middle of firing and cause the Check Battery warning. No issue, no problem, no anomaly, but an interesting find IMO.

so while the device is plugged into a usb charger and you hit the fire button, it displays this message? i'm trying to figure exactly when you get the message. or is just random? it'll just flash check battery while charging?

what's going in device monitor while you're getting the CB message? more specifically individual cell voltages and pack. also usb current and voltage? with them all checked, anything out of the ordinary? really high or low volatge on the pack, taps, or usb?

have you disconnected the battery mains and taps and reconnected to see if that clears it up?

first time hearing this problem.

i just got these in the mail today. i got two of em for $16 and change shipped. my Vaporshark Dna 200 stays pegged at 1.99 amps while charging with these cables. they are charge only tho, no data path. i'm really happy with these.

Actually I was wrong, it does this when a charger is inserted during firing, not taken out. So if the mod begins to charge when the mod is firing to an atomizer, it will display check battery. I just bought a 20 foot monster USB cable with stranded silver wiring for $40, so I think I'm set, it even has replaceable heads for both ends in case the connections wear.

Useful to know.  I can theorize that the system will cough a bit if it is asked to shift into charge mode while firing, but regardless, it is probably something that can be tweaked in the firmware.
