Something weird is happening with my FP 2170 lipo. The V Balancer wont cut off. It was charging for almost 3 hours and still going. Normally at 1.2A it would have cut off about 2.5 hours of charging.

Just to see if the pack is faulted I used it for hovering, power as usual but once the low voltage buzzer kicks in the battery was indicated as "voltage too low" by the V Balancer. Is my FP 2170 toast?

Anyone experienced this fault before?

I tested it with another lipo and confirmed the V balancer is working perfectly.

I'd put a nickel on the LiPo having a bad cell. Either put it on a charger that shows per-cell voltage, or use a multimeter to measure the three.
