Revo lipos, new and out of balance?

[michael503]

I just received 2 revo 2100 ma N series Lipos from FMA Direct and one of them had initial cell voltages of 3.94, 3.85 and 3.79. My cellpro charger went into safety mode to charge it. It is currently coming up slowly.

The other one had cell voltages of 3.9, 3.9 and 3.85

Should I be concerned?

These are the most out of balance packs I have ever received.

Been on the shelf awhile?

update:

they seem to be balancing OK within the break in period, so .... Ok I guess.

Those numbers are reasonable to me.

You worry when you get 3.8 - 3.85 - 2.0 :)

I was enjoying the hell out of then, til I didn't see the ground coming at me.
Life (and the ground) come at you fast.

They both came up ad balance well :D

Charge them and balance them - that should be it.
Check how they balance after a fresh charge. If they "comply" i wouldn't worry.
