Backdoor Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Hi all, Years ago i bought a vtbox dna 250 but one day i decided to don't use it anymore and i put it away with the battery low. After few months i've picked it up again and the dispay showed the message "weak battery" and i couldn't charge it. Now i bought a Tuglyfe DNA 250 and my question is: how to avoid this iusse (weak battery)? How can i set escribe to don't full discharge (or overcharge) the battery?

retird Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Simple answer is to periodically charge the device. When not in use a very small amount of current still flows and after long period of non-use the battery is discharged to a level that the on-board charger will not activate. Key is to fully charge before putting the device in mothballs and top off the charge every 4 to 5 months..... another option is if you can unplug a fully charged battery pack (depends on design of the device).

Wayneo Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 @Backdoor That vtbox dna 250 uses a LiPo battery, doesn't it? If the cell voltages are out of balance, a recovery charge might work. If you look in Device Monitor it will show the individual cell voltages. A 'weak battery' says one or more cells is triggering that warning. If you find any below 2V, you should recycle that LiPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
