Cell dies in brand new OutrageNRG pack after 6 easy flights

3Dmuse · 07-29-2010, 09:01 AM

Only 6 easy flights (only hovering the G5 actually, to break the pack in) and a cell in one of my Outrage NRG 1300mAh packs dies. The data logger did not record any abnormal voltage drop in flight, so that cell must have decided to quit in the 2 hours between its last flight and when I attempted to storage charge it. That cell wouldn't hold a charge anymore and would just go back to less than 1V in a few hours just sitting on the table. The pack was new

Yeah, HeliDirect just sent me the RMA number, good service as always. Extra shipping costs and waiting time though. Unlucky I guess.
