Sony VCT5 2.2 volts

[icharliex]

I may have left my sony VCT5 for a period of time and it discharged down to 2.2 volts, can i fix it?

That may depend on the type of charger you own. My Efest will awaken over discharged batteries.

My opinion, they are dead, toss them.

2.2V is fine and can be resuscitated, 0V is not. Sounds like you shorted the batteries. I wonder what happens if you put one in backwards or something with that mod, depending on how it's connected internally that could kill all your batteries.

I've placed the cells in the wrong way, on purpose, to see what would happen.......and.......nothing. The mod won't turn on, won't blink, won't chirp, nothing. Even if only one cell is in wrong, the mod won't turn on or anything, so it shouldn't be a result of that.

That's good to hear.

your charger may need to read a minimum voltage say 2.8 v before it starts charging to 4.2 v

The batterys charge back up to 4.1 volts fine then when you go to use them 2 of them just drop down to 0 volts the other is fine

connect the positive of bad battery to the positive of a good charged battery
connect the negative of the bad battery to the negative of the good battery
that may bring the bad battery voltage up to the chargers minimum voltage requirements
in the unlikely event the battery is getting warm buy new cells

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately though the battery's are completely buggered so I have just ordered some new efest batts, but thanks again.

You should have ordered either Sony VCT4, if you want to go the full range of 200W, or Sony VTC5. A reliable source for Sony batteries is from our friend above liionwholesales.com.

I was tempted to order either vct 5 again or vct 4 but I got the efest as it was a great deal.

 

[Droogbc]

Is a great deal on shitty batteries really a great deal in the end?

Fuck efest.

effest deserve what they get for their greed and more so for the damage they can cause
