![]() 1715 forum posts 1673 photos | 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. |

103 forum posts | 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. |

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. Take care buddy. D.D. |

I seem to recall the Apollo spacecraft had a rubber hammer on board for just these sort of tasks. |
