dedone Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hi all,i've try a loto of solution, but without any result.My problem is that when i reach 47% of battery chargen it start to say me "check battery" wheni fire. I can't understand why....I hope in you help!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Because you have a high voltage sag from the batteries. 18650s will never perform as well as decent LiPos, but it could be old, tired or low CDR batteries, poor or dirty connections, poor soldering and a few other things. What batteries are you using? First try cleaning the battery terminals on the batteries and mod with IPA or rubbing alcohol, I also read that for some batteries the reverse protection ring is a little high and can cause a poor contact, a small disc magnet on the positive terminal should confirm this.

VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Cell 1 is the one that is causing the problem, I think that is the rear lhs battery, not absolutely sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedone Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 but all the batteries are fresh (VTC5). I've charged the first time with the Nitecore intellycharge i4, and the direct with the mod.I aslo show you my setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 You can see the battery voltage take a dive (dark red line) on you plot, it is probably a poor connection, try a disc magnet on the +ve of the outside battery.E: I mean the rear lhs battery no the outside one.

VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 If you swap the a battery positions and cell 1 is still the weak one in Escribe then it is a problem with the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clean the battery and mod contact with alcool and i change also battery position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 From the photos I think these are the cell numbers when looking from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedone Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 ok, understand. But what i have to do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 The red line is still a little lower, which probably means a weaker connection on that cell which could be the plastic ring on the positive connection in the mod battery cradle is a little high and struggles to make a good connection with all batteries. If you put a thin disc magnet on the +ve of that battery and cures it than you could do 1 of 3 things: use it with the magnet, sand/cut off a little of the plastic ring or return it for replacement.It could also be soldering to the balance connections if the magnet does not fix it.

dedone Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Vaping you give me a relly BIG BIG BIG help!!!!!!!I just reduce a lot the difference with the point that you give me. Now i'll try with the magnet and hope to clear this small balance difference.Only hope that it isn't a problem of the mod....I'll let you know.THANKS again!!!!!

Jaquith Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Looking at your graph, if you have one cell that's so far off compared to the rest it will trigger the DNA 200 to throttle / cutoff prematurely compared to the remaining 'stable' cells. I would not recommend 'sanding-off' bits of plastic on your Mod. If the battery casing is damaged then either re-wrap or replace the effected cell.The problem is the cell (battery) if by changing the position of the cell the voltage drop changes from eg. Cell 1 to Cell 2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 You should look at both plots, with the cells swapped around cell 1 is still weak, so most likely is that battery slot as I said above, the OP understands anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedone Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 i've try to change the position of every battery, but it continuosly giving me same result on cell 1....so this is not a battery problem.What i've to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 If a thin disc magnet on the positive of the cell 1 position cure it then it is the plastic ring around the positive contact of the cell 1 position, if not it is probably the wiring maybe a dry solder joint on the balance leads. You could do 1 of 3 things: use it with the magnet on the positive of the cell 1 position, sand/cut off a little off the plastic ring around the positive contact of the cell 1 position (this would void your warranty) or return it for replacement.

dedone Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 ok, i've try with the magnet, i've try to clean contact and i've try to swap batteries...nothing Now i'll try to write to wismec.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaquith Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 If it's not a bad Cell (battery) then you have a bad solder IF it's always Cell 1 and the contacts are clean an unobstructed. Arrange an RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opako Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I do have the same problem always on cell 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Interesting, the cell 1 reading relies on the ground strap from the battery cradle if and I repeat if this is a common thing with these it could be that the ground strap is higher resistance than the positive battery wire, it could also be that the screw is not tight enough, the moulding of the plastic battery cradle causing less mechanical pressure on the battery contact for cell 1, and a few other things. (I am also assuming cell one is the lowest potential, but I am confident that is the case.Do not take action on the strength of this as it is just possibilities at the moment, but it would be interesting to see how common a weak cell 1 reading is with this mod.

Opako Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The real strange thing is that it works but when i plug the wismec to the usb and open the escrib it says check baterry... And it completely stop working. I had to hard reset everithing take the batterys out then pray for it to work again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opako Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 What i have found after a closer look it thats the negative pin on the cell 1 is recessed compared to the other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
