Has anybody else noticed this?

I have been noticing that when I am running a Dual coil carto and I check the battery life, it shows up a little lower than with no load, example, with no load it may read out as 3.8v, but with a load it will read out 3.6v, it doesnt do this with any other kind of atty or cart that I have found, just dual coil cartos.

I have a V2, and Im just curious if its something I should worry about.

I believe that when the Provari does a battery load check it will activate the connection with voltage. So maybe it's just that your battery is just at the right spot to not trigger a voltage change on the other stuff you tested with, but with mine here's what I just got.

3.7 which upped to 3.8 after a sec with no load.
3.6 which upped to 3.7 after a sec with a 3.0 ohm scc on.

Seems to be normal and since I got the same results with a sc, I would chalk it up to a factor of the resistance and whatever magic voltage they are using when the Provari does the battery check. Kinda makes sense that the battery will report differently with a load on it.

I was mainly just wondering if this was common, seems to be.

So the battery check is more accurate when there is no load correct?

Yes, I just checked with an 801 fusion
With load 3.5 without 3.7

Checked with a DMM and its 3.67 give or take .2 so off load is spot on.
