Ego type battery issue

[surubelnita7]

Hi. I own an ego style battery with 1600mah, non-adjustable voltage at 3.7 volts. When I fully charged it I tested it with a atomizer-voltmeter and it sayed 3.4v. Also I tested it once when she was dead and showed up 3.5v. Is it normal? What could be wrong? Is it safe to use?

Normal would be to come off the Charger around 4.1 Volts if the eGo is Non-Regulated.

If the eGo is Regulated, then the Output Voltage to the Atomizer is Always going to be the Same.

What atomizer-voltmeter were you using? It could be a lousy voltmeter. An ego battery should be tested with a digital multimeter.

4.2 volts is considered a normal full charge. An ego battery switch should begin to start blinking when the battery voltage drops to around 3.5 volts.

Hm.. I'm gonna guess your voltometer is not accurate. I don't see how it's possible it'd get a 3.4V at "dead" and a 3.5V at "fully charged". It should be 4.2V fully charged, and 3.5V dead.

Since it's Ego "style", it's hard to know exactly what it's supposed to do, but Ego batts are typically regulated to 3.3-3.4 volts. That's what you would measure on a properly functioning battery. 3.7 volts is nominal voltage and that's what they are described as, but they actually are fully charged at 4.2 volts. Do you have a link to the specific battery you bought?

Thanks for your time. It was a 510 voltmeter I think. My batt is a clone, I think a quality one. Also I think the voltage is regulated, not variable; some batts continiously drop voltage during drain

No. Normal would be to come off the Charger around 4.1 Volts.

It's a 3.7v LiPo maximum.

If it was me, I would just go out and Get a VV eGo Twist or Vision Spinner.

You are going to move to VV/VW sooner of later. Might as well be Now.

How can I give you the link? I think the site is blocking me from that

Does this site block you from saying the name of the vendor as well?

It's OK.

I think what you have is a Regulated (Fixed Voltage) eGo. That means that the eGo will always output the Same Voltage to the Atomizer.

So even if the Battery is Fully Charged ( ~ 4.1v), the Atomizer gets 3.5v or so. And the when the Voltage of the Battery drops below 3.5v, the eGo stops working. And it is time to charge it.

It's called eXtreme. Idk. - View image: Untitledaaa

It blocks you until you have enough posts, to prevent drive-by spamming. However my Google-fu is great and your user name is unusual. The link you wanted to give is: baterie eXtreme 2 1600 mah

It doesn't say much there. My guess is that the battery is regulated to 3.4-3.5V and therefore you won't see much difference over the charge-discharge cycle. Even when it is dead, because the volt meter does not take much current, you still see the same voltage.

Unless you are finding that the battery does not work, don't worry about it.

I think this is the correct answer. Thanks a lot!

Many thanks going to all of you. Love&Respect

As an aside, I do wish people (in this case the website) would stop rating batteries in square-feet hours. It's mAh; the capitalisation matters.

Haha, nice one. Learned my lesson
