battery

krazynuttz23 · 01-08-2013, 09:26 AM

Replaced to board yesterday on my demon and now the battery still shows 53% charge after charging for 9 hours. Does it usually take that long to fully charge a discharged battery or I'd my battery going bad?

Good be either a bad battery or charger. Try charging from a different USB charger. I use my iPhone charger.

How lo g does it ypically take to charge to a full battery?

thingmomo · 01-08-2013, 07:43 PM

mine would do the same thing if you hit the bored reset button behind the battery it will read the right charge

Get us a pic of the Charger you are using. I would use a charger rated 3v to 5v OR plug it into your Desktop or Laptop USB port. They are rated 3v-5v depending on what is plugged in (They self adjust).

My battery took about 3 Hours to fully Charge.

We'll I took reaper's advice and used the charger for the iPad. Finally charged to 93% after 8 hours!!

5v with a buffer. They work well. I use my Samsung Tablet Charger

so bought a new battery, but still take freakin forever (charged overnight to only 45%) and only to 91% at best. WTH is going on?!?!? I'm using an ipad charger instead of the stock one. Did the board reset as well with no change. any help?

I use a vanguard rapid charger than came with my creed to charge my demon.. 0%-100% in like 2 hours max.

krazynuttz23 · 01-30-2013, 09:04 AM

I though this lithium ion batteries are supposed to last longer. On a full charge( 92-100%) after a day of play I'm down to about 66% then battery completely depleted after 2 days. Is this right?

Almost everything you hear about batteries in the industry is a half truth in my experience. It's like mileage on vehicles lol.

The battery will normally die after time but two days isn`t right. My creed lasts about a month if I don`t use it.

If you use the cable that came with your gun it should take an hour for full charge. You may have another issue.

i did the same and it workd fine. I have also taken the charger when the battery was full or close to full and it did not take 9 h more like 4-5 h

krazynuttz23 · 01-30-2013, 08:58 PM

could it be the board?

spatanen · 01-31-2013, 05:22 AM

when my boards has broken then it was shorted and shows nothing on the display
check if you see something on the board, solder that looks strange or similar

krazynuttz23 · 01-31-2013, 09:15 PM

Well the board was a replacement I got from Frank.

MstrKey · 02-01-2013, 09:01 AM

Well now that you got the charge higher using the Ipad charger, go back to your regular charger that came with the gun and see what happens. It should only take a hour or two using that. I have no clue what's going on to be honest. It's almost like you have a constant drain somewhere.

it starts out charging but the longer i leave it on the charger, the battery starts to drain. left it charged for 20+ hours ( i was at work ), came home the battery read 16% .. wtf!!!!!!!

kevinkuz · 02-02-2013, 01:30 AM

This happens to all my markers ( 2 creeds and 2 demons). Charge for only one to two hours only. The longer you leave it charging the more the battery will drain

Shortbuscrew · 02-02-2013, 03:20 AM

My creeds that ive had, i dont use fast charges, they charge quickly but seem to not hold the charge very long, typically a month and a half. If i slow charged it take about 12 hours, it would last me all season. Its the same with all rechargeables, Ni-mh, Li-pol and Li-ion all have different charge times, depending on size, but also you got to be careful of the voltage of each charger and the amps. You can damage your batteries with the wrong chargers. Just stick to charging from your PC on a slow charge. It will last you months. Very very slim chance of damaging the battery. Also these batteries you dont want to leave on a charger and forget about them. Charge them, once they hit full take it off unless you have a smart charger that knows when the battery is full and it stops charging.. Leaving the battery plugged into the gun also slowly discharges the battery over time. Same with alkalines.

do some research on differences of batteries and how to maintain a recharge.
