    English:

    charging current limitation, for multi-cells boxes and Pico 25:
    Main Menu -> Expert -> USB -> Limit. By default after update current is limited to 0,5 amps, so change this setting to desired value if you're charging batteries in mod. After Dataflash Reset it will be setted to max. available (performing this action is not necessary).
    Russian:

    ограничение тока зарядки, для мультибатарейных модов и Pico 25:
    Main Menu -> Expert -> USB -> Limit. По умолчанию после обновления ток ограничен 0,5 А, установите необходимый лимит вручную. После сброса Dataflash лимит устанавливается на максимально возможный (сброс делать не обязательно).

    Working good on my Cuboid 200.

    I like the idea of restricting the USB charge to .500 mA.

    I would feel better about USB charging overnight with it limited with regards to the chip overheating and melting down...

    I picked up a Cuboid 200 the other day are your battery voltages wacky

    Bat 1 = 4.07 (12 off)
    Bat 2 = 4.19
    Bat 3 = 4.11 (8 off)
    All batteries read 4.19 on my other mod's and are fully charged
    so its just reading them wrong

    BVO works ish but as voltages lower 1 & 3 get more inline with 2 so there's no one size fits all BVO setting

    e.g. atm
    Bat 1 = 3.87 (8 off)
    Bat 2 = 3.95
    Bat 3 = 3.92 (3 off)

    Haven't had much of any issues with that... My old cuboid 150 had issues with uneven discharge and offset issues.

    Are they new batteries? Could be that the Cuboid 200 is actually accurately reading your cells and displaying the difference while stock firmware mods are rounding to the nearest 100 mV? Do you have a good multi-meter to compare the cells voltages and resistances?

    Could quite likely be bad contacts, try cleaning them - there are a lot of them on the bottom on the cuboid.

    To be honest being off 12 mV or 8mV isn't really going to hurt anything... You might loose a total of 30 millawatt hours.

    yes they are new crappy 2000 mah batteries that came with it they all read 4.19 and even if i swap them around still the same in bank 1 and 3

    i also fitted my samsung 25r's they also did the same

    Interesting. What hardware version do you have? I have 1.00, no battery issues.

    I did give my device a scrub down with contact cleaner and a mild abrasive cleaning with a green not-anti scratch dish sponge.

    To be honest I have only USB charged since getting the cuboid 200... While some say it is bad for the chips, I generally have always had my devices fail because of failing hinges / battery contact springs. Charging at 1 amp my board got up to 130 F, limiting charge to 500 MA it hits 110 F, which is normal when vaping anyways.

    Above all else, I would avoid vaping while USB charging - that is just begging to overheat your board.

    IMO the best device longevity will be achieved by regulated and slow USB charging and only swapping cells when they are being retired.

    It could be grease on contacts?

    I suppose it might be mildly annoying, but IMO with a 3 cell device I only get down to 60-70%.

    I would clean the contacts real good and setup an offset with AF firmware if necessary and accept a tiny loss of capacity.

    I got mine from fasttech...

    I do see a hardware difference between them at first glance. Next to my 510 connector, the two screws are visible.

    It seems the corsa version has rubber caps over those screws. Who knows what else is different?

    Is there anyway you guys can add an option to pick between Fahrenheit and Celsius. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I would just like to be able to have my device show Fahrenheit.

    Or use scroll in TC mode. When you decrease or increase temperature it will stop at 100 or 315 C. Release regulatory button and press again - units will be switched to F. Just like in the original firmware, by the way.

    Getting Atomizer Short and Atomizer Low messages with this build on a Predator 228 with a dual coil 4 wrap parallel fused Clapton coming in around 0.09 Ohms. This is in a Smok TFV12 RBA deck. I've inspected the coil for any shortable contact points and found none. The coil legs are all screwed in nice and snug.

    On another deck (Cheetah II RDA), I have a dual coil 4 wrap fused registering around 0.08 Ohms, and it's given me no Atomizer Short or Atomizer Low messages at all.

    I'll rebuild the coils in the TF-V12 and see if anything changes.

    I've also noticed that in TC mode with the Cheetah II, it's barely ramping up the wattage. This worked fine on the older fw build from June.

    @maelstrom2001
    Is there any chance you can have a user setting for the charging screen please?
    When charging you get the rate of charge in amps, then it switches to the batteries percentage and back again. Can you do a setting in Arcticfox so i can select what i want at all times. IE I want to see the rate of charge at all times rather than percentage.

    There is a valid reason why i would like this lol.
    Regards And Thank You Paxster;-)

    Please do so that on rx200 instead of the battery icon, you could set the charge percentage
