Questions about the eRoll PCC (normal and mega)

[PlaidStallion]

Hi,

One of my devices is an eRoll and recently the battery has gone kaput (I think). I saw a couple posts on this forum about replacing with a 752080 (or 702080) single cell LiPo battery but I can't for the life of me find one of these anywhere, at this time. Anyone know of a place?

If I have to order another PCC I was thinking of getting the larger 3400 mah mega PCC. Does anyone have one of these that has opened it? If so, I was hoping to get the exact model number of the battery. Before buying it I would like to do some research to make sure I can find more batteries for it so that I can replace it down the line if/when it comes to that. Parts for the eRoll are getting harder and harder to find and I am trying to be as self sufficient with it as possible by stockpiling parts, learning how to fix anything that goes wrong without buying new parts.

I would have asked in these posts but I either don't have privileges to or they are locked for new replies.

Thanks for any help.

Just as an update for anyone who might be interested later, I did end up finding the battery (752080) on aliexpress.com. It wasn't displaying correctly for me before but I found some stock. Only $6.45 shipped at the time of purchase.

I'm wondering if you've swapped the batteries yet, and how it's worked out. My PCC needs a new battery. It's still charging the erolls fine if it's plugged in, but not when not.

I have not. I am still waiting for the order to ship from aliexpress.com and then it will probably be a few weeks for it to come to me from Hong Kong. I linked to another thread where the job has been done though and it seemed to work fine for the guy.

In the guy who started that thread. It's still kicking, and I never changed the battery out for a smaller one - I just left the tape on it and use it at home. No issues that I know of.

Let me know if you get the correct size. Millimeters matter - I can tell you that!

Good to have the update. I linked to another thread where the guy from NL got a battery the same size (from aliexpress) and he seems to not have any issues either. The one I purchased is the same model number and dimensions as the battery that is in there so we'll see once it gets here from HK.

I have the Mega but haven't looked at the battery. I got the lid off without opening it all the way up. My problem with the Mega is that the bay I use the most doesn't charge consistently. Still a good holder.
Just saying, the ability to change the battery might not matter. I'm going to buy another one when I find one, because even 2 bays is better than one. Then I'll take this one apart and see if I can tell why it isn't charging.
Has anyone here seen a vendor with the Mega?

Is there any evidence of juice leaking into the electronics?

In the PCC? No. They don't leak at all unless they are on a flat surface. That's why the PCC has ridges, so the liquid doesn't wick out. You would have to completely flood the battery to get liquid to the charging connector.

Just FYI, Litecig has the Mega in stock. RMV isn't going to carry them anymore. Too many returns. I was happy with mine. Oh well.

That has not been my experience. I've had mine leak around the mouthpiece and enter the inside of the charger on three of the five original PCC's that I own, all of which are the second generation models with the notches. None seemed to do any damage to the electronics, though.

Did anyone mange to open the mega pcc?

I tried on mine but could not find a way to open it without destroying the plastic casing

I as well would like to know what type of battery is inside the mega pcc, and If it is posible to change it.

Hi.

Sine no body obviously did open up the mega pcc, I went a head and opened it up

This is the battery inside it (see attached image).

I did find a replacement battery think Will fit inside the casing.
I'll update this thread with a url/link when I get home from work later today.

Here is a link to a battery I think will fit inside the casing of the mega pcc:

A charge bay went out in my 1st one, so I bought another Mega. I will be interested to hear if you are able to replace the battery. I haven't taken mine apart, because I was able to take the lid off without doing it like the single PCC.
