I did clean the 4 balance connector joints the first time with a q tip and alcohol but that must not have worked.OK here's what I cleaned it with, twice, then duster spray. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NO-CLEAN-LIQUID-FLUX-FOR-PS3-YLOD-XBOX-360-RROD-REPAIR-/130498300452Something was draining #3I guess I'd better mention that the area that I was concerned about it conducting is between pin #3 and pin #2 on the board underneath the white plastic balance connector.

Spector NS5 RD Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 That cell still in balanced with the others? Everything good in tha hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 So far it's OK, time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwcraig1 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I just got my original (unbalanced) Vapecige battery back from my friend that tried to balance it with his BA6 RC charger with no luck. He did balance it though using the same method I used. So far my (Turnigy) battery in the Vapecige box is staying balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conanthewarrior Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Trying to do this as I have ANOTHER bad hotcig battery, cell 1 will charge to a max of 3.85V, while cell 2 and 3 fully charge. This mod has been nothing but trouble, can't wait for the Wismec Realaux to come next week . I can't even get the charger to recognise I have a battery inserted (Nitecore D4). 'Bennett' from hotcig asked for my name and adress and said he is sending me a new DX200 on Monday, hopefully he keeps to his word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conanthewarrior Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 OK-I rigged it up the same, and it IS making the voltage climb, I got to 3.95, but then thought I will do it when cell 2 and 3 is at say 3.95V, then get cell 1 the same, and hope it charges in escribe. If not I guess I will have to go to the full capacity carefully watching the LI-PO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conanthewarrior Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nearly done-4.16V, I tested it out first to just 3.95V to make sure it would charge to it, and it would-once its hit full charge it will be off, then escribe to get the other two cells charged .

dwcraig1 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just need to bring it up to the voltage of the other two, or charge the other two the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conanthewarrior Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 and would you believe it-I pulled it at 4.16V, am finishing with the wall charger and its at 4.18V, so I think once charged, it may well work. I am a bit worried it will get stuck at 3.86-90 again, but now its been charged past that I don't think it will. If this works, I will be one happy bunny. The battery bar has already shot up from what it ever was-So that bodge job wiring from my Li-ion charger to the balance ports of cell 1 may of worked. I am happy now, will have the true life I expect from it .EDIT: Woop its hit 4.20 on normal USB charging. Just to find out if it charges past when I have discharged it.
