Hi all, a friend from my flying club asked me if I could check out his 6S batteries for him as he's getting an error from his charger (he speaks German and instructions are English). I'm going to look for some German instructions for him, too.
So, the problem........
He's not been carrying out good battery care as we discussed elsewhere and both are very low down on volts and unbalanced. One is down to 13.31 V with two cells less than 2.0 V and the other is only showing 9.92 V with three cells not even showing anything at all. At the moment, they're out on the terrace in battery bags.
I guess it's time to tell him the bad news unless someone has an idea how they could be brought back from the dead.
Incidentally, I use the G.T. Power volt meter, which can read from 2 to 6S batteries as well as balancing and discharging. When I bought it about two years ago all my 3S batteries were out of balance despite using a balance charger. After using it to balance them, they subsequently remained balanced without repeating the exercise.
Bye now!
