I got a high output message on my Radius Today.

Is that one of the bad ones?

I was running 11.2W on a coil reading 2.1.
Nothing wrong with what you were running.

I'd keep an eye on it, without changing anything if possible.

I think I will.

This is one of the first run Onyx Radii.
Output setting too high is a normal error if there is an issue with the atty. The dreaded error is output fault 7.

If your using a rebuildable, check the deck screws and make sure they're tight. If it's a drop in, replace the coil. Something is causing the resistance to climb under load.

Does anyone have problems with the Radius charging batteries after they have been depleted? I generally have to change batteries once a battery is depleted as it refuses to charge off of my Vita Charger, my phone charger or the original charger (I am using higher amp usb to wall adapter, USB 3.0 on the back of my PC and the charging base for my Vita charger)

Well in theory, the Radius should never deplete a battery to the point of it not being able to be charged. Basically, when the Radius stops firing, you should be able to plug it in to USB and it will successfully charge the battery.

Now after a couple hundred charging cycles you may notice that the battery doesn't last as long between charges. This probably means that the battery is nearing the end of its life and needs to be replaced.

For the heck of it, I vaped my Radius 'till it stopped firing. Then took the batt out and measured it at 3.1 volts. Put it back in the Radius and it charged just fine.

That makes sense. I'm sure Provape made sure that the Radius would stop firing long before the battery was at a critically low charge.
