Low Battey Warning?

[SadPanda]

I have owned my provari for about two weeks and I have yet to run a battery to the point on where the device does not fire. Right now, my current battery according to the device my battery is at 3.3v and the button flashes every second or so. Just curious at what voltage triggers the device protection and no longer lets it fire? And how does the provari warn of this?



I know that from owning a lavatube the protection circuit on it kicks in right at around 3.3v to 3.4v.Not sure how that ties into the provari but I figured the cutoff's would be similar.

Its an industry std; 3.2V I think. (past that its dangerous to overdischarge a battery)

And you get some recovery after a vape. By the time you think about checking the battery voltage using the Cb function, it's back up to 3.3v. When you vape, it's dropping to the 3.2v level and triggering the LED flash. At any rate, it's time to charge. The next step is cutoff.

You'll get better battery life if you charge before it flashes. Charge time is less and the battery isn't stressed to much if you don't deplete it to cuttoff. The more you use it, the better feel you develop for battery life.

Does the light flash faster when its dead or does it just stop working? Just curious.

I understand all of that, I was just curious if I was in a pinch lets say and my current battery is at 3.5v, how far it will drain the battery before it stops firing completely.

Both, in fact. I just do the menu check battery (Cb) function after a few hours. When it gets to 3.4v or so, I swap out and charge. Charging completes faster if the battery isn't fully depleted.

My car doesnt take as much gas to fill the tank if I refill at 1/4 vs empty

I tried it once and the provari stoped at 3.3 if I remember correctly, but don't do this! I try to change the batt @3.6.

TWO WEEKS..wow, i go through a batt a day, you need to use that thing more lol...it will start blinking really fast then die

And my car doesnt take as much gas to fill the tank if I refill at 1/2 vs 1/4 or empty.

Also, my car doesnt take as much gas to fill the tank if I refill at 3/4 vs 1/2, 1/4 or empty.

Furthermore, my car really doesn't take as much gas to fill the tank if I ride the bus!!!

Yes, it blinks faster.

The whole blinky light thing is a little off in my provari I think. Sometimes it will start blinking at 3.6 volts. And other times it won't blink until 3.4, 3.3 volts. In either event, with my heavy vaping, sharing with others, and converting smokers to start vaping I still have yet to have a battery completely die on me even with the 18490's the kit came with.

Mine starts at 3.5 right before it goes to 3.4. I have a 2012 V2.

 

[Dana A]

I had the same question when I first got my Provari. It would be wonderful if it would worn us at 3.6 so we could charge it by 3.5.

 

[tobarger]

My V2 with Lo=off starts flashing at 3.2v.
So when it starts flashing it will no longer fire, the battery needs to be changed immediately.
There is no advance warning.

I am going to turn Lo=on to see if there is any difference.
I'll post back here probably tomorrow.

It won't alert you until 3.2v?!?! Aren't these batteries almost completely drained once they hit the 3.2 point?

i have an issue with this earlier. i have two V2's. The one i purchase 15months ago the volt setting are 3.3volts to 6.0volts and the battery starts to flash at 3.5volt (blinking slowly) and it start to get faster when it gets below. The second one i saw a differnts on it, the volt setting are from 3.0volt to 6volts and the battery starts to blink when it reach to 3.3volts. i ask provape about it and mention that the new one i got for 3 months is a new software. Just sharing what i experience on the PV's and battery indicator

 

[tobarger]

I'm Back
With Lo=on I'm getting slow flashing at 3.3 volts
The PV still continues to fire until the voltage reaches 3.2 volts (fast flashing)
The PV will not fire at 3.2 volts
