Kong Lipo lifetime

[liaan]

Hi All

need some help...

ive got some new kong 2200's.. the one got 22 cycles on, and now i'm getting 4min flight out of it (no 3d) before low battery warning kicks in. cell voltage 3.6 after flight, and only put back 1300mah... always religous to fly with timer(5min) and never went below 3.8 volt before and normally put back about 1300 - 1600. never had batterys stayed charged more than 5 days. its only about 2 months old now...

my flight power went after 70 cycles... which also low for normal hover/ FF.

can be my balancer / charger.. or maybe ESC/Motor causing batteries to fail so quicly?

any help appreciated

But the KP 100W6 charger comes with an adapter board with both TP-style and JST-XH connectors on it. The Align battery balance lead should be able to plug into the 3s JST-XH connector on that boad.

Yes I know that, I mean if you buy two similar batteries and they both have the "align" contact. Then you need to buy two adapters to be able to charge both at the same time as the Kongs.

The adapter that was included with the Kong charger can only charge one Align battery at a time.

I guess this was an answer to my thread: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?p=653334#post653334

Liaan you are right, those few posts belong in another thread, not sure how they ended up here. If I find the right thread I will move them. Sorry for the hiccup.
