Dyagilets Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 How to run Wismec DNA200 on 2 18650 batteries instead of 3? I chose 2 cells mode in escribe and it wont work, on the screens comes out message "check battery" And yes I uploaded settings to mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 You would need to alter the wiring as well, there is a big thread on 2 x 18650 opperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillW50 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 It sounds like on a Wismec, you just have to short the plus and minus of battery #3 if I am reading it correctly and then tell EScribe you are using two cells instead of three. If you did this internally, without rewiring and just add a shorted wire. I could see someone someday of putting in that third battery and have a dead short. But if you placed a bolt in the place of the third battery, you could easily switch between two or three cells if EScribe was nearby.Here is that discussion that was mentioned above.

MikeTheVapeDude Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Did he seriously just recommend dead shorting a battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillW50 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 MikeTheVapeDude said:Did he seriously just recommend dead shorting a battery?No, no! This is converting a 3 cell Wismec to a two 18650 DNA200. Problem is you just can't pull battery 3 out. But to make all of the wiring correct for a two cell DNA200, the Wismec needs battery 3 pulled and if you short the plus and minus contacts of the missing battery, it will be wired 100% correctly. And all you have to do next is to tell EScribe you are using two cells. If you want a 3 cell DNA200 back, the process is simple enough to reverse.

MikeTheVapeDude Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 So change Escribe to 8.4V mode and basically create a pseudocell for the third connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTheVapeDude Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 That sounds like it could work in theory, but I'm not sure if the DNA200 board itself would allow operation with what it would essentially detect as a dead cell on it. Seems it would just display imbalanced battery warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW50 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Well if the DNA200 thinks it is configured for a 3 cell, yes it will see battery #3 as a dead cell. But once you configure it for 2 cell, it ignores the third cell and just checks the first two cells. And the reason for shorting the third between the plus and minus connections is because the positive is the positive power for the DNA and without a battery it connects to nothing.

VapingBad Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 It is very simple high school electronics replacing the highest potential cell with a short is closing the open circuit it's removal would cause connecting the 2 cell to the board in series, it would also connects the highest 2 balance taps together to the highest potential from the cells as the highest one is not applicable for a 3 cell operation.
