Sigelei 30 watt mini keeps displaying low battery.

[dbjune13]

Has anyone had their sigelei mini display no battery even when your batteries are freshly charged? I have only had it for 2 months and was working fine til I woke up checked the wattage and it said low battery. Changed the battery and it said low battery. Did it a third time and same thing. Is there a way to reset it?
Using a sigelei 30 watt mini with Samsung 25r batteries and kanger sub tank built to .5 ohms at 18-20 watts.

Thank you for any advice.

Had a couple of them for a while and never seen that happen. It must be getting some power from the battery or the display wouldn't light up. Does it make a difference if the tank is on or off? Is it possible the battery charger is bad rather than the mod? Could it be something to do with the direct DC setting, I've never used that. Dirt on the battery contacts?

Other than that it does sound like the mod might have gone bad. Let us know what happens.

Have you charged battery sitting in the mod via USB?
Do you have separate charger?

I use a separate charger. Nitecore d2. Checked the batteries in my old vamo and they work fine. Display shows no battery whether or not there is a topper. Vendor is blaming my batteries saying they are bad. Too bad I bought them from them. Guess I'll be back and forth with them as I am seeing that the mod is having an issue. Thanks for the responses. Will let you know if this gets resolved.

You haven't had any leaks on it have you? Liquid getting into the mod could maybe be a cause.

No leaks that I'm aware of. Been taking real good care of this one. Stays in the sleeve and haven't dropped it.....yet.

Is the Sig still working and firing? I ask because the DNA30 chips sometimes do this as well, yet the mods work. So I chalk it up to a glitchy chip.

You can try leaving it sit with no atty or battery for a bit and see if it resets. My old 20W istick goes beserk about once every 8 weeks, and turning it off for the night has always done the trick for restting it, lol!

Also, clean your 510 and battery contacts with alcohol.

Won't fire. Doesn't register anything except low battery. Shows resistance as all 0's with or without a tank. From what I can tell it's a yihi chip. Did the hold power button down as I put battery in and it says yh sx130v1.5

 

[roxynoodle]

Yes, its a Yihi chip. Basically, I was wondering if it was just being glitchy like the Evolv chips.

It does sound like a total malfunction. Is it still under the 3 month warranty?

 

[dbjune13]

I think so. Need to find the receipt and was going to contact manufacturer of it is.
