Bad Stock Charger

lrs5 · 05-21-2012, 09:18 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know if your using a stock charger beware of it messing with your battery. I charged mine with the stock charger and it wouldn't spin the heli at full RPM. It sounded to be about half it's normal speed. My friend has a Scorpion charger that shows actual cell voltage and my stock charger had one cell totally out of whack. I charged my battery with his charger, it took a long time but it got all the cells equal again and it flew perfect. I'll be investing in a new charger next time I'm at the LHS.

Yep, I'm just running all mine thorough a new charger that arrived today. The stock charger hasn't balanced them properly or charged them fully!
