    Lipo Balancing

    When balancing lipo batteries. They should balance out pretty close to even ie: 3 cell 4.2 4.19 4.2.

    With that said, when should you be concerned when battery cells are NOT close when doing a balance charge???

    Example: 3 cell, 4.2 4.19 4.13.  Is the difference in this example be of great concern??

    Thanks,
    Lon
    PS: Yes, I have a battery with the example readings.

    Try discharging in storage mode, and recharge see if that helps.

            Jeff,

            The hand is doing much better.  Remainder of the stitches removed last week. Hand is sensitive now to the cold, and I'm doing things to get full movement back in the little finger.  Respect that prop when powering up and working on planes.  All my planes in the hanger now, are displayed without the props. So when I pull one down to fiddle with and power it up to do/check servos and retracts. That hazard isn't there.  Thanks for asking.
