Kudos 2186 $1.42 rebate earned +19 details @watercool and any other rx-200 owners



Didn't you say you had this issue in another thread?











"For all of you that have a rx-200,and your voltage meter and battery meter are off by a good bit most of the time, there is a super simple fix. If you look inside of the battery tray in the top left corner there is a small foam plug, if you remove it there is a screw behind it. That is your ground screw for the battery sled and if it is loose, it will give false readings to the mod. Tighten it up and hopefully that will alleviate or completely get rid of any problems with that altogether. My mind was off by sometimes as much as .15 volts, but now the batteries read exactly what they do on my multimeter and on my efest 6 Bay charger. Hope this helps." I saw this fix and thought of you.Didn't you say you had this issue in another thread?"For all of you that have a rx-200,and your voltage meter and battery meter are off by a good bit most of the time, there is a super simple fix.

Kudos 13577 Will try now, cheers



Mine was about half a turn loose, checked the voltage before and after and could see a difference in the readings. My main problem was the back right slot on sled (middle reading on screen) would always read high even if i swaped the cells round Edited on 1/1/2016 at 5:10 PM. Reason: Always go full potato!

Kudos 86 Thanks Hexe! I meant to give you a tip but accidentally clicked kudos. This is the kind of stuff that I enjoy about this forum. I'm waiting on my rx200 to show up. It was ordered and shipped from he first day it was shown here on FT, but some how hasn't shown up in Germany yet or at least tracking just says dispatched to destination country. I am/was worried about it being in the hardware revision numbers that are having problems. Maybe this will help when it comes and is one of the problem ones. Thanks again Hexe.

Kudos 4260 Last night, I made a point of torquing all the screwa EXCEPT the coverd ones, as I thought there might be a warrenty issue. I'm going to try this and see if there is any difference. I had attributed the voltage thing to firmware. I'll report my findings, Nicely done! Edited on 1/1/2016 at 6:02 PM. Reason: Vi veri universum vivus vici.

Kudos 4260 +1 details K. Done. plug back in place, it was a fucker to get out, because my tweezers have been drinking today. Mine was just a tiny amount low on the voltage before 4.21 as opposed to the 4.22-4.23 my meter showed. Theyu now agree. Plug goes back in after. if you can find it. Vi veri universum vivus vici.

Kudos 351 Nice. I'll haftu try that. My ohms reading jumps around a few decimal points.

On a side note I dropped mine in my driveway today. Hard. All the bats flew out, the sleeve for my dripper shot off. Not good. Took it inside and replaced the batteries with no effect. The back end of the mod had spread so the outermost contact wasn't connecting to the battery. I removed the bats and my atty, gave the body a good squeeze forcing the top and bottom closer together. Replaced the batteries and fixed. Been using it all evening with no further issue. A Dubious Methodology
