Hi all – another battery question.
Just charged up my brand new Turnigy 6S 3300’s and all balanced perfectly apart from one. When this one was plugged in the charger only saw 5 cells, I went ahead and put a bit of charge in anyway and then the 6th cell appeared, but it had a low voltage (I can’t remember exactly but 2. Something).
Anyway, this cell and one other (for some reason) lagged behind the other 4 cells during charging. The charger then said the battery was charged but 2 of the cells only had around 3.6v (again I can’t remember the exact figures).
Is the battery stuffed?? No swelling or any other visual signs of distress. Maybe I give it a short run to discharge it a bit and try re-balancing??
Thanks for the help,
Graham
