Fellow Omicron owners,
As luck would have it, my new V2 got here this morning. In view of the discussions about power drops I decided to test it against one of my V1s with no load, a 2.4 Ohm load (Omicron cart) and 1.5 Ohms (DART cart on an adapter). I cobbled up a test rig from a pair of adapters so I could measure the voltages under load. Both batteries were charged first, after the test the V2 battery still read 4.17 Volts, the V1 battery can't be directly measured of course. For reference I also ran the TV Ultra power supply which has no electronics. That battery was about 'a third used up', and measured 4.00 Volts after the test. FWIW I also measured the Atmos RX, basically it's the same as the V1 so it's not listed below:
V1 V2 Ultra
3.63 3.70 4.00 Open circuit
3.32 3.35 3.70 2.4 Ohms
3.18 2.98 3.52 1.5 Ohms
OK, I give up on the formatting of the table. You can read it I think?
I'm not sure what this all means yet. Right off there seem to be an offset in here. It's interesting to me that while the 2.4 Ohm cart did about the same in V1 and V2, when you get to higher powers something else is happening. This protection circuit?
Anyway, there's the raw data for your perusal and comments?
