So I finally got myself one of those fancy SkyRC programmable battery chargers as I suspected the cheap Heng Long charger doesn't only take a a veeery long time to charge the higher capacity batteries - as a matter of fact it probably doesn't charge them at all!
Now I find that of the two Admiral 3500mah batteries I got from MRC last Summer it shows one of them having a cell without any voltage (0.0v). And when trying to charge it it gives a "cell error" in the display. The other Admiral 3500mah as will as the two 7000mah I received from MRC this week check out with all cells alive.
I only charged this defective battery last Summer. Then it went into storage. Last week I tried charging it again as I found it without power. All those times I used the Heng Long charger.
Now I'm wondering, could the cheap Heng Long charger have killed the battery cell? Or could there be an different cause? Perhaps because it was stored for such a long time? Or perhaps it came defective from the manufacturer?
