blueridgedog Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Posted August 18, 2015 So if they are using their own charging daughter board, are the escribe settings relating to max charge and other items moot on that particular implementation?
alistairs Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Just heard back from Vaporshark regarding zip charging with the DNA200 balance charger.They confirmed it will allow you to use all functions of the balance charger, and that you can still use Escribe to change the charging mode.I usually have USB current set as one of my charging displays so it will be real easy to check when mine arrives.
Schnell18t Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Speaking of charging screen, is there somewhere to turn that on. I have changed the fields in escribe but the screen still shows the normal screen.
James Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Change the charging brightness from 0%. It goes to the charging screen at the time when it would normally turn the screen off (if charging).

Looking at the chip, I see no obvious way for it to communicate with a zip charging daughter board, but if escrib is setting charging limits for an off chip charger, that then lets the onboard balancer drain high cells it must be so in some capacity. It must be some simple way of feeding the 2A charge back to the chip and letting it take it from there.
wtcamer Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 Yeah I wanna know how this works as well. I drain my battery as fast as I charge it and I hate having to stay tethered because I'm scared it might get too low xD This .97amps is nice, but 1.97 would be a lot nicer ^_^

It's silly fast, approx 90 mins from empty to full. I don't run mine right down so its usually less than an hour when I top up each evening.
alee132 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 I wonder why it wasn't possible to do a 2amp charger onboard the dna200 since it was built around lipo's and there are enough usb chargers out there that can do 2amps. There I am sure is a solid reason why they didn't do this.
Tomr1088 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 I think the reason why will soon be seen now that so many sharks are having problems with them not charging all the sudden lol
Mad Scientist Posted October 8, 2015 Report Posted October 8, 2015 I think many readily available, small multicell charger chips are 1A. There's a limit to what can be crammed on the board before it gets too big.
