  • Charger or battery problem???

    So here’s an oddity I don’ Know how to work around.

    Several of my batteries started acting up when I try to charge them:
    3S Lipo, 2600 mAh one cell is .04 v higher than the other 2 (3.79 and 3.80) - when I try to charge it, I get an error CELL VOLTAGE HIGH. Will not charge or discharge.
    Paint the same scenario with one cell 0.4 v lower than the other 2 (3.80 and 3.80) - again, will not charge and message is CELL VOLTAGE LOW.

    ANYONE KNOW A WORK AROUND? Can’t do anything with the battery on the charger, most other batteries are charging fine, but I have had to unplug it and restart on a few of them. Just started acting up last weekend as the wind picked up while flying...go figure.

    Should I try to run them down a bit more in an airplane (no fly) to try and even them out? They are a only a year old, they only get run down to 3.7~. And get charged on Friday nights when I get ready to fly on Sat.
    Battery or charger issue - using the Kinexis 80w, but ordered a Hitec yesterday.

    Would appreciate any solid leads...:P
Working...
