I have my settings in Escribe set for a 1300mah battery, but it dies with about 20% remaining. This is why I want to buy a different battery.

Seigfried Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 You only get to use 75% of the battery rating. The DNA 200 only allows you to discharge to 3 volts. 75% of 14.43 watt hours is 10.8 watt hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I thought that LiPos had very little charge left under 3.5 V, far less than 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigfried Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 That is what I'm understanding from the RC sites. I get 10.8 watt hours out of my 1300 mah batt. which comes out to 75%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2dTOO Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 OK. I guess I need to do the battery analyzer to find out exactly what I need to use in order to get an accurate battery meter. Can someone link to the resistors that they have used for the test (link where i can buy them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I mean that you will get all most all the mAh above 3.5 V and probably 98-99% above 3 V so the Wh should match the battery, I could be wrong but that is the impression I got, they are quite different from IMRs. But if you are running very high wattage they will get rejected eariler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, obviously, I need to input something other than 14.43Wh in the capacity settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2dTOO Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I just want an accurate meter, so that I know when I need to get near a charger...The Protovapor DNA 200 that I had first (had to sell for reasons) went all the way down before I got the weak battery message.

Putting in a figure based on math and assumption about the pack (as to capacity) will result in a battery meter that is just as accurate as those assumptions. I have seen that the wH rating estimated on this pack is way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seigfried Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Battery size specs are 68mm x 30mm x 20mm. Couldn't find one at hobbyking over 1000 mah and I don't know how much extra room you have. Good luck finding a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nykademos Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I may have the answer, I actually just bought this battery for a DIY in a milled 1590g (solid copper woohoo!) I made a 1590g+ with a "turnigy 1250mah (long)" from hobby king. It is a true 1250 30-60c and the dimensions are 90x30x20. since this copper box i got is a hair smaller than the g+ i thought the vt200 battery will fit good length wise as it is 68x30x20. I am aware the vt200 battery is only 1000mah and i would typically avoid buying a product that comes with lies, however, for my project its the battery that fits. so if length is there in the vt200 this turngy 1250 might work for you guys. Hobbyking really charges alot for shipping though, but its an $8 battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisss Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi, I posted here my cvs file for vt200 battery , the setting came out at 11.09 The file there is a text file but if you save it as a .csv file it will work https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/66238-topic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nykademos Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 So they should have rated it 1000mah. Pretty funny that a manufacturer would choose to lie about it when you have the software to pull their skirt up. Evolv should reach out to the large manufacturers and tell them not to do that or it could harm the reputation of the chip. We all know how quick the mob can turn against you.

allen Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I ordered an extra battery with mine. You have to use to much force to change them. I managed to switch them out 3 times before I broke one of the wires coming from the board. Don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nykademos Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 it broke because its very thin soft wires, and the jst balance connector was not set direct to the board. this design is for battery replacement due to failure, probably poorly suited for daily swapping, where is the extra space for a bigger battery? I dont have one so I dont know. I have researched these batteries more than i like to admit (I kinda geek out on stuff) I'd be happy to help you guys find the battery that works.

Alan, here is a link for a jst extension, if you open up the mod an can get to the board soldering that on to the board is easier than you think. that extension or any other should help grip things more gently than a yank.http://www.ebay.com/itm/261101316372?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can literally buy 9 of my turnigy for that much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
