3 of LG HG2's arrived just today, all brand new being at 3.6v. Works great, buuut reuleaux RX200 STILL shows invalid voltage on the batteries. This I do not like. I'll make a video really soon, but for now I'll just type the voltage of HG2's reported by Wismec:
3.30
3.91
3.70
With 1st battery being .3v lower than it actually is
2nd battery .31v higher than it actually is
3rd battery .1v higher than it actually is.
With those scavenged laptop batteries the battery reports were pretty similar. 1st was much lower, second was much higher (it even showed up 4.40-4.50v on the middle one) and third around the actual voltage, but never the same.
Should I start a new thread in appropriate section or should I continue here?

In a best case scenario... And it's not like the cells in a used battery pack are exactly fresh.

The battery meter on the rx200 isn't very accurate.3 of LG HG2's arrived just today, all brand new being at 3.6v. Works great, buuut Reuleaux RX200 STILL shows invalid voltage on the batteries.

Well, 0.1v variations are acceptable, but 0.3v or even 0.5v variations I had before are simply horrible. I genuinely had to swap batteries while they were still 3.8v...
I suggest removing the batteries from your rx200 and leave it with no batteries while you fully charge all 3 new batteries in a good stand alone charger.
Then allow them to rest for an hour, then check them with your MM, now install them in the rx200.
Could be some of those harvested batteries you used were 4.35v 18650's not 'normal' 4.2v.
As previously mentioned the rx200 isn't very accurate.

Please do check my post here, I find it pretty pointless to just paste it over. Don't think that I'm just lazy, please. It's just that some of it could be useful here and some would be completely offtopic. If anybody would prefer me to paste it over here then please do tell me and I'll paste over anything important regarding this stuff going on here without any links, even internal ones.

I did charge the HG2's in the external charger. Two of them were lying around of about 10 hours after fully charged and one of them was just pulled out, but at the similar voltage to the other two, if not the exact same.
Thank you.

My RX200 was faulty. I got it replaced and now even those orange scavenged batteries work beautifully and last 2-3 days. LG HG2's last 3-4 days. Runinng 0.5ohm coil right now. I got 0.8v off the actual batteries voltage tops. It discharges properly now at least.
Why do you insist on using those batteries when you've been told time and time again how dangerous it is!?

I've just kinda Given Up on trying to say to Not Use them.
You know the Old Say'n...
"You can Lead a Horse to Water. But until it's Mod Blows Up and knocks out their Front Teeth, they just Won't Listen."
I did my homework. 30 W @ 0.5Ohm coil ~ 8amps of current. This isnt much for 3 batteries, is it? I don't neccesairly insist on using them. I use them only for a short time of HG2's charging, after they're charged I swap them out. Everything is cool, I just wanted to report that.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
I had came to the same thought of a battery pack when the numbers ended in -4 -5 its a sequence all the same number but ending in a different number laptop batteries not a good idea
It's not that they're working, it's the fact that you don't know what kind of batteries they are. You're playing Russian roulette every time you fire those batteries up, no matter the resistance, because you DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF BATTERIES THEY ARE. You don't know how they will react; vent or just blow in your face.
So many damn batteries out there that you can order, not that expensive and you can get them in a few days at most. Hell, buy some at a B&M if you're so desperate to have a vape and can't wait for proper batteries, where you have the info to know what you can do with them. It's not if the batteries can handle the load, it's what will happen if they can't or if there's an error. You think you're above mistakes until you drop your mod, or put one in in reverse. I'm lucky enough that my accidents just haven't been serious.

They came from my local B&M but so far so good and the manager of the B&M uses them in his snow wolf and his friend uses them in a V3 hex ohm and after a week there going strong and zero issue. Two main reasons for me using them the manager is a good friend of mine and he has my back if anything goes wrong and the second I have a chance to give something back to the vaping community that has helped me out when I got stumped with a question by using the listmans and reporting how they work. Anyway most good things are risk and reward not just reward and I did this of my own free will so if it goes bad it's my fault not the vape shop not any one's my own fault and if any news outlets say different than the lawsuit is on cause I for one am sick of this horror stories form of news Either report the truth or quit being a reporter

You mention that you traded out your RX-200
There is always the possibility that the bad batteries damaged your original RX200
the APV was never meant to be operated with low amp batteries.
I'd strongly suggest that you toss those batteries.

Even bad batteries will work ok, until they don't. And the manager having your back won't help you at all if you suffer an injury.
