Holy dna 200enclosure

I can't believe how small this is!!! Can't wait to get it together

LOOKS GOOD.. now when its in an solid metal body..

Looks dinky, what battery are you planning to get in there.

I believe they will do them but the cost is triple figures

It's 85 x 45 x 28.. And a fullymax 900mah

[gm111]

I'm planing on making a smaller one than this @windows with a 450mah and a mains connector for vehicles etc as I work as a courier but that's the last thing on my mind at the moment as finding an enclosure will be hard and designing/making one will take some time.. Maybe I could make some progress during my time off at Xmas

Ouch that was hard to fit the 510 in!!

 Any idea of the circuitry design to plug into a 12v dc car power supply or dc power brick to power not charge a dna200 mod???

after watching a utoobe review of the hotcig dx200 where the idea of modding a battery module along these lines ( its the magnetically coupled mod/battery doo dah) was floated and took my fancy, i cant design/work out a circuit myself but can follow a basic diagram

Just + & - nothing to the balance connection and select power supply in EScribe.  There is a thread about switching between both on the Evolv forum and you need 3 resistors to to fake the balance voltages when the PSU is connected.

Cheers VapingBad 3 resistors is the kind of circuit i feel quite at home with i shall pop over to the evlove board and have a peek...
must admit the idea lost momentum when i found the boxed spare batteries cost $50 a pop so would be an expensive route, and since my fabricating skills are very limited, drilling a hole for a cable gland is miles away from making a neat enclosure from scratch..

and also while the mod got a slatting for its battery choice i find i get a day+ from it when used solo ( and thats rare..) so the need isnt as great as i initially anticipated when finding all the -ve reviews after i had clicked the buy button..

Dual power option (internal battery and external power supply)

Using a 12V DC power supply

served up on a plate.. cheers i will need to sus what the amp rating for the car lighter socket is, up in the shed i have an old 500w pc psu running to provide a 12v and 5v dc supply for things like usb charging, led lighting, pump power, and any future needs so that should work a treat..

FT had some 25 & 30 A PSUs, my server is down so can't get the link ATM, but if it's not 23 A limit the wattage and or a fuse.

[phatfil]

The car i have no idea about, and will just go by the blade fuse rating in the lighter circuit, if 25a or higher a-ok i guess, but the good 10+ seconds it takes to heat up a ciggy lighter coil must draw more power than the diddy coil on my mod does with a vape??, im fairly sure the 12v rail from the old pc psu is over 30a but I will need to check that.

sorry for the thread hijack gm111

It's all good, finding the smallest psu I can is what I need to do, may just make a tiny 12v mod.. im thinking of using a mech tube now as they're so easy to get your hands on.. I've got 4 dna's already for out and about so don't really see the point in having one for both when the main reason for making one was to have the smallest size whist driving..
