Hi guys
Just had my first 2 flights with my new 3s 2150 packs and wanted to know if anyone has some answers for me.
These packs are supposed to be 2150maH right?
Well resting voltage for my 2 packs was 10.218 and 10.02, and maH put back in was 2249 and 2193 :shock:
My packs have been eating baby heli's and are now pregnant and expanding perhaps? lol
Anyone know what the actual maH rating is for these packs?
Im not worried, in fact Im pretty pleased that they have more capacity than stated.
Charger Im using is Swallow Advance from here http://www.modelflight.com.au/rc_model_chargers/swallow_battery_charger.htm
Idea's?
I'll be away til the w/end, so I wont be able to answer any Q's in the meantime.
Thanks in advance :D

It is normal for the batteries to have actually more capacity than they are rated. The difference between there test equipment and your charger will give different readings.
I find the same with nicd, nimh, li-ion also.
