Hi - sorry I allso posted this on the MA website - but I figure this place is better as it looks like Jason from Thunder Power is around here...

I have charged my two 8000 packs for the seventh time now. I have been doing as I have been told - charged the packs separately and gently - the first times with 4A gradually incrasing to 6A. The most time I have had in air is 8 mins 32 sec - with several landings /temperature checks and so on. The most I have been able to charge the packs is 4,9Ah..

My problem is that for each charge the difference between the two packs increases. First just a few mah - but now aprox 500mah - at the last charge the one pack took 4,4Ah - the other 4,9Ah

Flying is rather gentle - I do make eg. a fast climb but then takes it easy - and at no time I have recorded motortemp above 63 degrees Celcius and batteries max 32 degrees Celcius...

How much difference is OK ?? - Do I have a bad pack or what is happening ?

Charger is Schulze 636+RS

Best regards

Lars
