Battery Drain When Off???

[pcrdude]

In shorty mode with an IMR 800 mA 18350, my battery level drops from 100% (fresh off an external charger), to maybe 70% after a few days even with the eVic off. This seems strange to me, and I never noticed it with the 18650 OEM battery.

Anyone else notice this?

Next I'm going to see if it is battery discharge even if not in the device.

Any and all comment appreciated.

I've noticed with my Vamo that if I leave a battery in overnight there is appreciable battery drain. I swap out first thing in the morning because of this.

Battery balance is normal as is drain over time.
The smaller 18350 will show at a higher % of lost available power due to its limited reserve compared to the 18650's
Age will increase loss over time.

Update

When the batteries are not in the eVic, they maintain 100% for a week. Therefore, there seems to be battery drain in the device, even when powered off. Maybe 5% or so per day on an 18350.

Anyone else notice the drain?

I have an 18650 pink stock in mine, no problems. Use it for days.

You sure you not in sleep mod or is the power off?

I power off using the menu power off option. There appears to be some parasitic drain in there somewhere...

There is a clock function on the Evic. That is probably at least part of the batty drain you are noticing.
