BC6 and TP 6S 5000mAh?

[bobthehobo9]

I have a new BC6 and a Thunder Power 6S 5000mAh lipo. When I try to charge the battery in balance mode, I get an error reading: "Battery Vol Err Cell Connect". The manual says that it means that there is a bad connection at the individual connector and to check the connector and cables carefully. I have the Bantam balancing board and harness to use with Thunder Power lipos, and I THINK I have it set up correctly.
I plugged the balancing connectors (both the 6 pin and the 4 pin) from the Lipo into the supplied Bantam TP board in the two furthest right connectors see: http://www.bantam.co.kr/image/Accessory/TP_board.jpg for details

Also, as per the manual I plugged the red and black main wires coming from the lipo into the charger as well.

Any ideas?

Could be a few things:

1). Bad EAC129 connection board.
2). Voltage of 1 or more cells is above 4.2V or below 3.0V
3). Defective balance tap on the battery where the charger does not see all the cells.
4). You have the charger set to charge a different cell count than 6S and the balancer is not agreeing with the settings. For this to happen you must manually override the charger telling you that the cell count is in error.
5). You have the 2 balance taps plug in wrong on the EAC129 connection board.

I will be at the West Pasco field about 9 AM tomorrow if you want to come by and I can take a look at it.

I have the charger set up for 6S 5000mAh lipos.
cells: 1, 2, 5, and 6 read at 4.19v. cell 3 reads at .8v to 1.05v and cell 4 is showing 4v.
The charger recognizes that the lipo is a 6S.
I have the balance tabs plugged into the board that only way that makes sense to me.

Bad battery.
