Battery message help!!! ***update***

[Dave]

Hey guys,

Just got the message " imbalanced battery " on my EFusion mini

Has anyone got any idea what it means 

Please tell me its not Goosed

Cheers Dave

Fire up eScribe - plug the mod into the computer, then open up Device manager from the radio buttons at the top, you should then see which cell in the battery is causing the problem, leave it plugged in charging using eScribe, and hopefully it will balance the charge out properly

Yes it means the cells ( of which there are 3 in the pack) are not balanced ), Ie there's a difference in the voltage between individual cells which is not good where a Lipo pack is concerned.

Whether it's advisable to try and balance them again I am not sure, VapingBad would be best to answer.

You can buy new lipos though (hopefully)

I like the mod too much to retire it

[Bob]

Dave of course, Vape Geek sells them, just have to plug it in and away you go

If I remember rightly escribe has a function that remedies the imbalance

In escribe open device monitor tab. At the bottom rh corner click the advanced button then select perform battery recovery.

Sounds like a bad cell to me, only option is a replacement I am afraid . What did Escribe display  ? Was there one cell discharged further than the others?

When plugged into escribe all of the cells were reading the same and when the cells were checked, they all produced a flat line?

Been on to VapeGeek as I have only had the mod for 3 months and it has had very little use, they won't help as the battery is only guaranteed for 1 month 

They also have no more batteries for sale, so if anyone knows anywhere else give me a shout pls

Dave .... I thought I'd found a place, but not UK.... and then discovered that they won't ship international www.protovapor.com/product/fullymax-11-1v-3s-900mah-30c-lithium-polymer-battery-pack/

But this appears to be the same: www.volcano-ecigs.co.uk/lavabox-lipo-replacement-battery-pack.html and UK based

dave I have found out that the Supersport range from Overlander are using the same fullymax batteries rebadged as Overlander Supersports, i have bought these link as spares for my LV Halycon squonker, and would be suprised if they are not the same as what's in your mod. I have also bought the 1300mah 3's as they are a direct replacement for the bigger Efusion DNA200.

Just double check the dimensions before ordering. The only reason i found out was through friends that are still in the R/C game and had confirmed they are Fulymax, with the added bonus of being considerably lighter on the pocket.

An added note, if you do go down this route you would need to fit a new connector (XT30) as they come without when new.
