Dwain Dibley. Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Where are you getting %ages from ? A battery checker ? Can you monitor how much your charger puts back in, my ones give a figure for this. If so discharge a battery ( run the motor for 5 mins) and see if the charger replaces what you've taken out. if this is spot on or near, then it's your checker. HTH D.D.

paul coleman 1 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 hahahaha,whatevers going on its doing my head in now,must be an intermittent fault with the charger,as its coming up with a fault saying reverse polarity,then connection break,but all leads are correct,i just dont get it,may invest in a quad charger,rather than use a para board,the sky rc Q200,Looks a good set at 160 quid.

If in doubt give it a clout..................... It does sound like it's time for an upgrade Paul. On a serious note tho, you do have to look after lipo's, cos they can burn your house down Matey.

I seem to recall the Apollo spacecraft had a rubber hammer on board for just these sort of tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I've always known it as the technical tap. Anyway. I've gone through two rc6 chargers, they've simply expired when used within rated capacity. I don't think they're that great build quality. Edited By Nigel R on 01/06/2019 12:13:46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul coleman 1 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hi Nigel,its a case of if you buy cheap,you buy twice,the rc6 are only approx 45 quid,the Q200 is 160,im hoping i dont have to but another one,id be happy if it lasts me five years,the rc6 lasted me just over two years.
