Simon Cunliffe Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yesterday I was using my transmitter all working fine. I put it on charge overnight but this morning noticed the charge light wasn't illuminated. I tried the transmitter and got nothing, well I say nothing but there was a quick flash on the screen and that was it. One of the club mate has loaned me a spare transmitter and I have tried his battery and all seems fine. My question... is this typical of a NiMh battery failure?

Bob Cotsford Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 what, no-one going to contradict me? Ok, I'll do it myself. It's not the most typical failure mode in my experience, a reduction in capacity is what I usually see, but it is not unknown. I have lost a model when a receiver pack lost a cell in flight. No warnings, charged ok then dropped a cell halfway through a roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
