Gm111 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 So I got my dna complete yesterday put it on charge until fully charged and locked the device before going to sleep. When I woke up this morning it had gone from 100% to 19%, is this okay or have I done something wrong? or is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

VapingBad Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Put it on device monitor and see what the cells read, check you have set the battery Wh & check the battery and cell voltages on a multimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 It definitely shouldn't do that. What firmware version? Is it running hot? It should go completely to sleep after an hour. A device monitor screenshot so we can see what it is doing would be most helpful to diagnose. And a picture of the mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cells all read the same on the device monitor and I set the battery Wh too, I couldn't find the multimeter so will have too look again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 If they read the same in dm you shouldn't need to measure them with a metre, I would do what John asked 2 posts above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on 9/27 firmware, no it wasn't running hot from what I noticed, it definatly wasn't in the morning. What would you like me to set on device moniter?

John Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 That looks pretty normal to me. Maybe post your settings file?It isn't shorting to one cell or draining unusually, or you'd have imbalance. If the fire button was being held down or stuck then it would drain overnight, but otherwise it shouldn't. How big is your battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape_Like_A_Boss Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Is this with a temperature control build? Were you using nickel?What's your preheat temperature and time in the profile it was using?This is very abnormal behavior so don't worry, it's not going to do this to you all the time. Once you solve what's causing it, I wake up to the mod pretty much the same way I leave it. It doesn't change at all with my daily driver Kanthal build.I'm an amateur but everything I see looks like it's showing the battery readings as normal for mostly discharged.Edit: Ninja'd by John, I should just set my internet to not work after John's hours start at 2 PM lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fire button was held down wouldn't the screen be on the whole time? I'm using a Turnigy nano-tech 1000mah 45c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VapingBad Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 To post your settings file go to save in escribe and it will open a file dialogue window that will have the folder path shown, once saved zip or rar compress it then post it, click the more reply options to see the attach file link.

John Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ah ha. Your voltage discharge curve for your battery is 100% crazy. It will charge to 4.2 volts, then once the current falls off it will set the charge to 100%, because it is done. With your battery curve, 4.2 volts corresponds to 18% battery, so when it powered back up, it said "hrm, dunno what happened, but clearly we're nowhere near 100% for this battery, so lets reset our estimate to the curve"and on your curve, 4.2V is 18%Where did you get that battery curve? It doesn't correspond to any battery chemistry I am familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gm111 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 My bad I must have just changed it too the highest curve I could without even thinking what I was doing, 100% @ 4.5 volts hahaha, I'll change it back to standard now. Thanks for your help John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
