I believe so. Run a battery flat in it, then put the battery in your charger for a reading to confirm this.
I don't have one or I would... making sure its not something silly like the 40w's 3.5v cut off.
I have ones that are 2.85v, 3.11v etc... think I fixed them with $2 heat sink adapter though so won't bother.
I mean when does the kbox mini stop firing.. usually get low voltage or low battery warning. I think they just blink but same idea, what voltage does it stop working? SnowWolf 2.85v, evic vtc mini 3.11v, eleaf and wismec usually around 3.2v but kangertech has made a few that stop at 3.5v for no good reason really. Wondering if this one is 3.5v too or better 3.2v?
The higher the stop voltage is, the longer the battery will last before you have to replace it. Looking for mods with low battery cutoffs is a false economy.
I was just saying mod cut offs to clear it up. I get like 500 cycles to 3.11v so maybe if they were $50 each I'd only use half the battery to get twice the cycles. Not worth me charging 24/7 to stop at 3.5v.
Well I shouldn't say 500 to 3.11v.. it wont fire that low on old batteries. Starts lowing watts and gets low battery warning (not cut off) around 3.3v on my 1 1/2 yr old 25r... they are my power outage back ups for the winter lol. And yes I store them around 3.7v so if my mod stopped at 3.5v they'd be useless.
old batteries are by definition dangerous. voltage sag is Baaad. you do not one of those things to turn into a road flare on your desk.
someone with more know-how should be handling this one. my battery knowledge is poor to middlin' on a good day. @Mooch is da man to lay the law on these things.
Yeah I've been talking to him about once a month for a couple years. He said they were fine... I'd say they have dropped maybe 20% capacity. Its more about how you use them then how long. I gave him all the specs of them and he has seen much older/larger sags. They drop about 0.05v overnight after charging, still get about 1300 secs @ 16w with them so one more xmas is fine. If it was sagging even 0.2v it would cut off not show low battery.
Gotta love company responses, asked about kbox mini c... "do you meam the subox mini c?". No subox mini c is a the whole kit... don't even know the name of their own product. Guessing it will be like every other chinese company... just keep responding with dumb questions and answers till you give up or they just ignore you.
Turned out to be 3.3v... not bad. It looks expensive but feels really cheap... tiny plastic buttons, small screen. Other then that it's great, $25 with a $9 tank so for a $16 mod it is very nice lol. One of the few mods my long pin tanks almost sit flush on too. May grab another one before they discontinue them. 22mm single 18650 with magnetic doors are getting hard to find, all 25mm with dumb hinges now or Pico knock offs that are short but wider in the hand then some 2 battery mods.
