Hi guys, I have A Aegis X dual battery mod, it seems to have a battery drain on one battery much more than the other, it never did this before but started about a week ago. I have changed the settings on the ABB from on to off and back on and it makes no difference, even though it's suppose to balance it, any suggestions?
You will notice when you open the battery compartment that there is a contact point of sorts reading the charge in the first cell. Clean both this point and its contact area and you should be good to go for another period until it needs cleaning again.
Regards
The problem may be that one of the batteries is close to dying. You should try another set of batteries in the Aegis and try the same set in another mod…
Done that @Raindance , still does the same, contacts are shining I cleaned them so much!
@Grand Guru , I have 6 paired sets, it does it with all of them, I also swopped the batteries to check if the battery problem followed the battery but it started drain the battery I swopped, so its definitely a problem in that battery bay
Mark the cell that is draining more and swop their positions in the mod, (my guess is that it's one cell, not one slot on your mod that has passed its "sell by" date)
Your mod has two cells in series, with balanced charging, not discharging ... Cells do age at different rates and getting two with identical internal resistances that age at the same rate is about as probable as the finding the element Unobtanium
True, when using dual cell mods, keeping mated pairs, never using each without the other is important. Just replaced my old cells with five pairs of newly mated cells and notice their discharge level is equal every time I place them in the D2 charger. The Geekvape whatever it is I use as a daily driver does however discriminate against the second cell but I gave up worrying about it. I press the button, vape comes out, I'm happy. Really could not be bothered with what the screen is telling me.
Regards
It could be, (unlikely tho'), be the mods charge balancing circuitry at fault, drawing too much current from one cell?
Or ...
Your mod is simply reporting a false charge state on one of the cells, (my earlier suggestion of swopping them around should expose that tho'), and that there's nothing wrong with them.

Done that, it keeps discharging whatever battery you put in that bay, it's a head scratcher!!
It's not a little different, it's completely drained and won't vape within a hour, and that's with little vaping! I stopped using the mod because it's going to over discharge that one battery passed the point of no return
There is definitely a problem internally, I'll see when I have time to strip it and check what's up. One battery will be one bar from full and the other completely discharged and the mod gives low battery warning and won't fire. If I take them out and put in my D4 it's reflects what the mod shows, one battery flat, the other almost fully charged. Will strip it sometime and see what the hell is going on!
Then it is probably the most unlikely part ... the charge balancing circuitry that's faulty, and removing that thin wire that is attached to the bridge between the two batteries might be a temporary solution? albeit that your charge circuitry will no longer work, nor would individual cell status function.
Cell charge balancing works very crudely, by discharging the stronger cell to match the weaker one(s).
I'll have to gut the bastard and see what's cooking
Autopsy must be documented, it's the law!Take pics please
I'm thinking the same thingLooks and sounds to me like the perfect excuse for a new mod
