DBS V3 problem

[ROADSTIR]

I bought a DBS V3 earlier this year from Flashcrazy and have been very happy with it. However, I'm having a problem with battery life. I'm using the extension tube with 216850's inside, but the battery life is pretty poor. I've noticed that, when the light finally dies, one battery is exhausted, but the other still retains a charge between 4.08 - 4.11

Am sure it's something simple, but can't figure out how the two batteries complete the circuit, but both aren't drained?

Thanks~

Sounds like a battery problem, not a problem with the DBS.

Yes, this definitely sounds like a problem with one of your batteries. I would test it with a different set of batteries or mark the two batteries to determine if the same battery is always depleted first and then replace the bad cell.

This is definitely a battery issue - there is no way that the DBS V3 could just discharge one battery.

Bingo! I should have figured that out myself. Thanks, guys. I appreciate the help.

Could I ask what brand of batteries you are using?
