Problem with EVOD battery.

[Smashers]

Hey, sorry if this has been posted before.

I'm having a problem with my 600mAh Evod battery, it is a firing issue but not in the same way as I've seen other people have. Basically sometimes it fires and sometimes it doesn't and I have noticed that I can tell when it is going to work and it's not, because what happens when it doesn't fire is the LED will snap on, stay lit for a few seconds and then snap off again without firing, even if I'm still holding the button down, where as when it does work the LED will fade up and stay on as long as I hold the button like it should do.

So sometimes I have to push the button a few times before the LED will fade up and it will fire again. The battery can be fully charged and it will still do this.

I've tried pulling the pin up to see if that would help, it didn't.

It's just an annoyance really, specially if I'm not looking at the LED.

Hard to say, but it sounds like a bad fire button. Is it under any kind of warranty?

No I don't think so. That's what I was thinking as well a wire or solder point has possibly broken maybe. Oh well, I need to upgrade to something more substantial any way so maybe now's the time to do so!

Hi, sounds like it's time for a new unit. unfortunately some units don't last very long. some longer than others. if it's new, defiently return it. Vision spinner 2 makes a great unit that lasts and has a LOT bigger batter, longer battery life, if your interested. hope this helps. best wishes

if it's more than 3 months old then sounds like time to replace

Yeah, unfortunately the EVODs kind of just kick over at some point. My first one only lasted about 2 months. . .
Grab another evod for now and for back up in the future, and start checking out some better mods.

If you want to eye up box mods:
Most people are going to point you into the direction of the isticks. I got a 30w istick with nautilus mini tank and some juice from Mt. Baker for under $70 (with a coupon). It's an easy upgrade from the evod and has enough power if you want to upgrade your tanks or whatever later in your journey. Plus, they're 2200mah which means the battery life is 4x as long as your 650mah. It's a pretty easy set up to learn and if you run into any trouble with it, there are a ton of threads on here troubleshooting it.

It's possible there is something down in the 510 area that is making a contact between the center post and the outside wall (negative post). Good cleaning with a small toothbrush and alcohol. Not likely the cause, but something like this happened to me when my button would light up but not go out.

I would say the same as others ... get another EVOD as a backup but clean your connections!! Good luck!

Bad button for a guess.

Don't forget to clean the connector on your charger at the same time you clean your battery.
