Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Hope some one can help.I bought the durafly se5a and have been using turnigy 11.1v 1800mah packs the first 4 flights I got 12 min flight time each time I balance charge them on a turnigy accucel 6 charger at 2amp. I then charged at 1 amp next flight I got only 7 minute flights then only 4 minutes now they drain to 9.1v after 1 minute. I then used a brand new nano tech fully charged at 11.1v and even that did the same only 1 minute.is this a charging problem or could it be the motor in the se5a ??I could realy do with help if anyone can.

Thanks stu

	You first use a multimeter to test your battery cell, then you'd go into the balance chargers settings for that particular type of battery and set it to the correct voltage setting, for each cell. Here's the manual for correctly charging/discharging your lipo's. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/ACCUCEL_manual(2).pdf
