various painfull issues

[willmac]

Recently purchased some gear from CNChelicopter and i have got a series of issues.

First and foremost the BeltCP cnc head does not fit the BeltCP blades in other words the blades are to fat. Are there ways to work around this which are reliable.

the other issue is a 11.1v Sonix 2200mah pack i purchased The pack will not charge any higher than 8.7v's on my SwaLLow charger. What is the deal there.

This is giving me the sh1t's

The first one's easy... Don't use Esky blades. They are the worst that money can buy. You could make them fit by removing the plastic supports and reinforcing the stem somehow, but please don't. The blades will fly off sooner or later. They won't withstand the headspeed you need for stable flight anyway, so you won't be wasting money if you sell any spares you have at a loss... You'll just be saving yourself a major rebuild. Get a decent pair of Align 315s or 325s instead - they don't cost much more, they are a drop-in fit, and they fly much, much better.

If the battery arrived at less than 9V, it has probably been that way for a long time... and the cells are most likely damaged. You might want to contact the seller about a replacement. If you just ran it until there was no longer enough power to hover, you're hosed - but it might still be salvageable. I'm not familiar with that charger - does it have a LiPo restore mode? If so, you could give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid there's nothing to do but discharge & dispose. Once the cell chemistry is damaged, the pack is useless and unsafe.

Hi,

The battery is cactus i think,

This particular charger while not the best money can buy is quite good.

Its has a digital display on the front and shows individual cell voltage, I only have two cells registering voltage.

I have asked someone they explained it to me is like this

the battery need to use it first , then charger , cell by cell , use smart charger is better .
discharger it and re-charger.

I mean WTF i have a balance charger and there is no voltage on one cell.

Anyhow need to send it back i think more postage..

Send the battery back for replacement - one of the cells is dead.
