If that is all you are using to guide you, yes that is my point, green is like 75% and above, with a digital charger I could see a new one is only charged to about 4v out of 4.2v... you need to spend more time with it, fully charged batteries and settling into your own use style, to see what battery life is like... You have no idea right now basically lol
It's all I had to guide me, green means go, that much is international.
Still, a breakdown of percentages was something I didn't see in the manual. Green should be 80+% if I were to choose.
After that you start to lose power output and stress the cells a bit more.
But not a big deal to just use and abuse it if the battery is replaceable. It will be good for my shares wasting all this lithium lol.
Li-ion doesn't have a memory, it just suffers fatigue.
What does purple mean? Are the colours a quarterly breakdown of runtime or actually a voltage response, which doesn't follow a linear discharge curve?
Not clear and I read cover to cover. Not really impactful info anyway...
In terms of no idea, yeah I'm finding my way. I had the unit all of several hours when posting initially. I said I'm unsure how impressive the battery efficiency will be. I have some solid indication, and if your idea of 6 bowls per 2800mAh is accurate. Which it seems to be, though it's hard to keep track, I had a good go yesterday for a long while and I'm still under the effect at work the next/same day. It's great and my vanilla coffee and croissant went down almost as well as the eggs benny wrap, and my productivity.
But yeah, that power efficiency is perhaps about 0.5-1GHB (~500mAh average, 750 on label) per bowl, which means more time needs to be allocated for charging, and a similar number of much larger cells are required to be carried for continual uninterrupted usage. Easy enough to manage, and that ticks a box for me.
I found the Xmax V3 Pro batteries work fine, not the best.
LG HG2 similar to the included P28A, but the P28A has been chosen for good reason. You've tried the P26A I guess, probably more similar to HG2.
No need to look elsewhere or worry about powering this up if a few of those are on hand.
It would also be fairly trivial to retrofit a mains power adapter to this.
But it's totally fine as in. The more I use it the more I like it.
Yes, that's what I'm saying, a brand new battery has no charge, TM are charging these batteries a bit before sending them out, so that way you don't have to spend as much time charging when it arrives to get it to full, but if you care about long-term battery life, you should charge it full before first use or use a different battery at home that you already have been using...
And yeah, it probably dropped to blue within your first session?? Although that could have been a little inaccurate, it's tricky if you don't start with a fully charged battery, at least in the old TM at the vibrations, sometimes it could be a little off... So far I have had very accurate readings with the LED color change though, even if I pop in a battery that is not fully charged, it seems to switch to blue sooner as expected, so yeah just take more time and get to know it my friend!
It arrived in a state when I was happy to use it so I did. No qualms and no drama. If the battery was in a pack or fixed in device, I wouldn't have purchased, but also I would probably have decided to charge it fully before using it, for the marginal benefit.
These batteries should be shipped with 3.6/3.7V+ but will discharge and there's no telling how long they get to do so. There's also no guarantee of anything, but good QA will outline the desired voltage range and test for it.
That's what one of the factory testers I built does with 1V2 coin cells (for CMOS).
I think I got the green light for a good while, but it was because I wasn't the first to handle the device, it was charged to near full. I used session mode and left the device on for a long time, that's why it went flat after only three chambers. Most of the run time was a waste of energy, but in terms of raw performance this thing isn't afraid to draw power. It even has a white light mode like my much more efficient power for power comparison. A better comparison is cloud for cloud and I am over the moon there. Back to big hits on the go!!
Yes, I was going to point this out, while there is not LED light bleeding through every seam like it did with the original, the LED in the TM2 is still so freaking bright if you make eye contact it is really annoying, I like that I am using green blue purple instead of red now, but it's still a bright light, and now that it pops out the top, even with the stir tool inserted, if you make direct eye contact it is still blinding... I wish there was some way to make it just less bright, a little dim reflect something over the bulb of the led somehow?? For me it's always a game of trying to use a finger to cover the LED, while I am using it, now upside down or right side up, I just have to be mindful or not look down haha
The array of holes in the multi tool does a good job to block the dangerous emittance, but it's a pity they didn't go the extra step of infilling the LED openings all over. It would look much better, more finished, with lightpipes. I'll probably add some glue from a glue gun, as it's kind of annoying having these spot lights beaming out so brightly. Again it's not a big deal, but enough to want to fix it.
Edit: it is a bit of a big deal if you look at the LED in the dark with the multi-tool removed. I have burnt my retina noticeably from this.
Don't even do it to see what I'm talking about it's nasty for your eyesight!! Like a very bright CREE torch. Going to up my taurine intake.
The LEDs are likely driven hard or specifically selected for vision in bright environments. However a good refractive milky lightpiping action would actually make it even easier to see in daylight and will stop the viscious rays.
I cannot understand why some would need it to go higher in temp unless his unit is underperforming.
I have no idea when I quoted this. But I am really happy to see this feature, recalibration was one of the wish list items for the GH, which desparately needed it.
Performance will likely degrade as things age. Thermal cycles cause a lot of wear and tear.
lol

). I had great time and didnt even manage to go through all batteries. I can say for sure it doesnt deliver as dense low temp hits as the TM2 ,but it still rocks and i appreciate the slightly smaller form factor
