lipo problem

[jesster202]

ok here's the problem im running my set up with two identical battery's and one prior to charging worked but needed charging the outher didnt even pull but the mortor was trying to work. I charged the one with jucie left and it did a full cycle in a half hour i plugged the outher in and 45 mins in was still charging so i dissconnected it and tryed it and nothing to even working still making the motor try to fire i pulled the working one in and the gun is fine so im pissed! any suggestions

Have you balanced the cells?

Try letting the batteries fully charge before putting it in your gun.

The only way to charge Lipos is to balance charge them

using a ballence charger as stated the first battery did fine the sconed keeps going and one cell gets luke warm whitch is a no no i know of and dosnt even get a little charge form being in the charger for 40 mins

have you checked the voltage on the pack? Once the voltage on a lipo gets to low the effects are irreversable. remember to allways unplug your batt when done playing and never run them down to low. if only one cell is warming up it sounds like the voltage in that cell is to low and will not accept a charge.. there is no way to fix unlike nicd or nimh. you can check each cells voltage by using the balancing lead and test each colors wire with the black as ground( -) hope this helps. if the batt is garbage please dont throw it in the trash there are many batt stores that can dispose of it for free safely.

problay is trash i got it this way anyways at least i have one that works great though i know because my last one i charged didnt even get hot at all this one got luke warm whitch i know form outhers saying is just not right i guess im going to bestbuy tomorow after to dispose of it

allredy have a ballence charger the batter is facked i cheked the indvidual cells and they are below the 3.4 volt level and form a little bit of reserch they become chemicly imballenced i guess and are no longer usable hence why it was heatting up when charging and the outher on wasnt.
