Thanks harmudge. I'm pretty sure I've been using the right balance socket as I don't thing the plug would fit in the others anyway.
So anyway, I've received new batteries and a voltage tester, but I haven't yet received my new charger. Using the voltage tester I can see that I do indeed have...
Thanks Steve. The only charger I could find that would be shipped in a reasonable time (I'm in the UK) was the iMax B6. I also ordered a lipo voltage tester and two new batteries just in case. There's a question mark over whether any of these will arrive before Friday, when I really need them...
Thanks. I tried those settings. The result was that instead of the warning leds coming on instantly, I got about 2 minutes hover time. When I landed and plugged into the Naza M assistant it said voltage was 11.6. So still kicking in early... and I went from 12.5V to 11.6V in two minutes of low...
First level protection kicked in here, even though it says I have 12.2 volts...
And second level protection kicked in here at 12.1-12 volts...
But as you can see the protection should kick in at 11.55v and 11.1v
One other idea I had... Do you think my first and second level voltage protection settings are correct? I realise I don't have a loss value. But I can't really get a proper one now
There's a chance I tried charging them the wrong way (only one wire plugged in) in my excitement and eagerness to get flying a few weeks ago. Could I have killed them?
Yes I'm connecting both wires. Since starting this thread and watching some youtube videos on the subject I charged a battery again and noticed that towards the end of the charge, the 3S LED on the charger flashed on and off for a while. I understands this indicates that the cells are not...
Thanks Monte55 and jumanoc. All these rules about lipos are new to me. Looks like I should invest in a better charger, a battery checker, and new batteries.
My main concern is why this happened to all three batteries at the same time. Can't be a coincidence surely? No doubt I've made an error...
What are the chances of my batteries being ok after a balanced discharge do you think? I am planning to fly on friday. I wonder whether it would be safer to just buy new batteries?
Thanks for your reply SteveMann. I only have the basic BC20-4 charger. Any other way I could do a balanced discharge?
If it's indeed a problem of the batteries having one dead cell, any idea how it could have happened to all three of my batteries? Did I do something wrong? If I buy new...
I'm new on the forum and a new phantom user. Hopefully the community can help, and will forgive me if I ask any stupid questions :D
My phantom has developed a fault. As soon as I take off the LED begins to blink red rapidly, then after a few seconds it goes to failsafe mode and lands. It...
Did you find a solution to this issue? I'm struggling with the exact same problem. I've signed up to this forum hoping to find some help and tips.
I have the same symptoms. After takeoff the LED flashes red rapidly and continuously, and after a few seconds failsafe mode kicks in and the phantom...
