Emag draining within a few seconds.

I was having a similar problem with my e-mag. My problem ended up being that my charger was not functional, once i got a new charger the old battery worked well, course this is also after I bought a new battery as well...... Both are expensive fixes, but I would check your wiring with a voltmeter to make sure nothing is grounding first, then start with a new or borrow a friends charger.

sounds like the batt is going to ground to me. check your wires for knicks or cracks. I dont have an Emag I'm just giving you this with my electrical experience

Check your wiring, including the inside of the battery case. Check the screw that holds the circuit board in the grip frame. This is where the board gets its ground. A bad ground here can cause problems.

you need 26+ volts coming out of the charger when it is pluged in. The battery should read 18-20 volts fully charged.

As metioned earlier chek the screw holding down the board is snug and if re annoed recently make sure its clean with a little aluminium showing around the mounting face. Also make sure the trigger magnet on the trigger is not to close. If its to close the marker will think its being constantly being held back and the screen will be blank simulating a dead battery

Hey guys thanks...The charger reads 26.6v and the batteries say 18v. The gun hasnt been annoed and the trigger magnet is sitting flush with the trigger. I get a responce from the board. It shows a normal boot up and then after a couple of seconds it shows low battery. And underneatht the board the mounting hole is covered with paint so should I shave the paint off of it???

[Tunaman]

Does the battery actually GO dead or does it just say low battery? If it just says low battery but the battery still has a full charge then the board is toasted.

the battery drains and then it starts to trickle back up. I still get the normal boot up. AGD 1.37. (I havent upgraded software because of this problem. Didnt want to invest until it is working.) When i got the new battery it worked totally fine like it should but after the first play with the battery it did the normal stuff as i said earlyer. I am sending it off within the next week so if it is the board then i will probably just get a Pred board.

[flyingpootang]

You can sand a little off of the bolt mounting face until a bare aluminium shows. Also its best to answer Tuna's question. He is one of the best AGD techs around....

I think the board is dead... i am recharging the battery to make sure. It does say low battery. SO if one of yall have a spare board laying around or even a pred board i will be happy to take it off your hands.

[shoot m up]

Alrighty i charged the battery and just hooked it up. I got a normal boot up strong pull on the noid and i let it sit for a sec and it showed the period. Then i pulled the trigger a few more times and stopped. I got the Low Battery indicator again. Well if it is a dead board just tell me if that sounds like it. I mean the board works fine as of what i can see. If need i can post a video tomorrow. Just say the word and i will do so.

you know what, my angel G4 is doing the exact same thing, hmmmmm

[athomas]

Did you actually remove the board mounting screw and clean the threads inside of the hole? Even if the gun has never been annoed, it can have this problem. Mine developed it after a couple of years of use and was all original. The aluminum gets a bit of corrosion and the electrical connection goes bad. Clean it and see what happens.
