200w Mod battery status indicator ?

[Vape Fan]

Modefined sirus 200W close to 3 months old.
New always married VCT6 from IMRbatteries <2 weeks old.

The mod's dual battery indicators show even discharge,
and when it gets to red the weeks old Hohm Base charger says the batteries still have:
3.54v / 53%
3.68v / 63%

Mods manual says "Low Battery: Voltage of battery is lower than 3.0V while vaping and lower than 3.2V before vaping", and my red status is without vaping. I haven't continued to vape beyond the red status.

Does this appear to be normal or within reason? Maybe I can continue to use red status till I use more of the charge or get a low battery warning on the screen?

Yes and no... considering the mod is probably measuring to the 10th of a volt and the charger working at the 100th. It makes sense scale is just different..... a 10th of a volt isn't a big deal anyway... wouldn't want much more though...

I may have ninja'd you
That .14v diff is normal I suppose, but the mod going red on the status is what bothers me. I don't want to use 45ish% of a charge then need to recharge them. I have more batts, but.....

It's still just a scaling issue....... What does mod consider 0% vs 0% to the charger? does that mod have battery profiles? If so you can change the scale..... But my guess is that the mod says you are at 0 early to allow for battery sag. So you aren't pulling the battery down to damaging levels under load.

On My mod battery PERCENTAGE scale is adjustable...... I have zero set at like 3.4v, and fire disables if volts go to less than 2.8, under load. I tend to pull batteries and charge between 3.4 and 3.5. your charger is no doubt using a lower voltage as Zero Percent than your mod

0.14 of a volt difference is just not that big a deal.....

Looks like the mod considers zero, according to user manual, like ^ up there. 3.0v if vaping / lower than 3.2V if not.
The charger can discharge to zero, other than that I don't know what it considers zero on a normal discharge.
Next time I get red status I'll make note of what the mod says for voltage with and without fire button, and Ill continue to vape it while monitoring that.

Edit: actually, I now think the voltages are in line with getting red status. Just alarming that this good charger says the have over 50% left in them.

Charger is probably using 2.7 or 2.8 as zero. that would put 3.5 at around 50% of 4.2volts full charge.

I don't know if I can find that info about the charger, I'll look. I know it has Dr mode that will drain and recharge so you can see what the total mAH's are for each cell.
