Electric Pick Help

The batteries do not seem to be working with the epg. I've just been trying to use one of the batteries to test it out and im getting half of a sec. of weak movement.

Sounds like you are tripping the amperage protection circut. What was the protection cutoff on the batteries you bought? You may have to use unprotected cells which unless you are experienced with them I would not recommend.

You did charge them correct? They also have a low voltage protection that cuts off at a certain voltage.

I think the cutoff was 4.25v.I think i have a 3.7 rechargable Ni-Cd laying around ill test it out with that .

[zeke79]

18500 lithiums should be a nominal 3.7 volts for each cell. The cutoff will likely be around 3.2v.

yeah i looked at the specs and the cut off was 3v. I aslo tryed the 3.6 i had it actually fit perfectly into the cylinder. I had to do some resoldering afterwards, It fryed out the on/off switch. heh good times.
