Default Chip in e-cigarette battery.

The manufacturer may have slipped up on the house coded chip.

In one unit the chip was marked; 3417WA, in the other it was marked;
Esmoke33716M.

Its probably going to be hard getting Google to find just a base number
with
no prefix - someone might just happen to know.

Thanks for any help.


The better thing to do is put that E device in the garbage where it
belongs

No one needs them, just like the real thing, they don't need them
ether...


At the end of the day; that chip is a lithium cell charge controller.

Most of my home brew lithium chargers require supervision, the charge board
from an e-cig can be left to get on with it - even if it takes a long time
to charge a decent sized cell.
