guiseppppe Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I just got an above mentioned mod, and when I first connected it it displayed a charging battery. That soon disappeared (the little flash indicating that the battery is charging) and now I just get an empty battery. Escribe is telling me that it is indeed charging, but at a very low power. 2 cells (1 & 3) are at 2.41 V while cell 2 is at 0.30 V. It is still connected, but it keeps trying to fire by itself. Or at least it's blinking "check atomizer" and "locked at something something". Is this normal? And if not, what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I assume you did upgrade the firmware to the latest release and set the battery capacity to (3 cell LiPo and) 14.43 Wh?I guess you can try a USB recovery charge (Device Monitor -> Diagnostics -> Advanced -> USB recovery charge)?Edit: Corrected the recovery path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiseppppe Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Aye, I've done that. When I tried the USB recovery charge it just said "0 recovery charges has been performed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 OK. I haven't done the recovery (and don't want to since I do not have a problem) so I do not know how it is suppose to behave. I only know it can be used to recover a deeply discharged pack.I hope for you someone else has more tips otherwise it probably is a warranty case.Edit: Oh, I don't think it will solve your problem but maybe you can try recovery with another USB cable to rule the cable out?

guiseppppe Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Tried another cable, no difference. I've sent a ticket to Evolve for help, since this is the second mod I've gotten with the same problem. Hopefully they'll be able to help me. Thanks for your help, Bobby.

bmclaurin Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Gosh, I hate to say it, but that pack is almost certainly toast. In fact, if one cell is really 0.3v, I wouldn't attempt to charge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgedog Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I would plug in another pack and test. Likely a bad pack and an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter7734 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I had the same problem, cells were reading around 1.3 v After usb recovery it fixed it up, seems to be fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR20 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Looks like I'm having the same problems. I'm trying to perform a recovery charge, but escribe is saying that it failed to get the serial number. Am I doing something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hifistud Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've had two of these, neither has a decent battery in it. the first one went back, I got another, and this second one is also toast - one cell showing zero charge at all. hunting about for a replacement battery. So far, not impressed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gm111 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 First things first, if you have a multimeter check the voltages of each cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWells1013 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Just got this device and I wanted to make sure I have the settings correct in the software. I have the watt hours adjusted per the user manual, however, does it need to be set for a lithium polymer battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
