I went to charge a couple TPX 6S packs this afternoon on my TP1010/210. I mistakenly connected a charged pack to the balancer and 1010 and started the charge process. The 1010 started by saying it was checking the pack voltage, THEN gave me the message "Extremely low Voltage" press INC to restore or something like that. Think that was odd I stopped the charge and went to eh balancer screen. Each cell was ~4.185V and the pack was balanced to within 0.005V. I connected a discharged pack and it charge fine. Think it mught have been a fluke, I connected the pack I had just charged to the 1010/210 and it gave me the same "Extremely low voltage" error. When I connect these same packs to my Bantam equipment it starts the charge and then stops, indicating the packs are full. What's the deal? I'm running firmware ver 2.1a. BTW, On each of the full packs I was getting the error on, I checked the individual cell voltages and the total pack voltage with a voltmeter and confirmed they were in fact charged. O then flew the packs, and connected them discharged to the 1010/210 and it charged them fine. Reconnected again after charged and same thing. :dontknow

i have the same issue with 2.1a
emailed thunderpower, no response
but at least they are aware their update has a "bug"
probably thinks its a 7s, and forgets to check the balancer to see what it really is (or perhaps it ignores the balancer entirely for those who only purchase the charger).
