I have a Maxamps 4s 4000mah battery. I have been noticing lately that it has been taking longer and longer to charge and just recently in the middle of the charge cycle, My Hyperion charger says that the output voltage was too high! (15.25V, but it charges at 16.49v!) If you try and start the charger without the battery connected, the same message appears on the screen. I have never charged this battery without a balancer, and it has no damage at all. What made me suspicious was when in the middle of my last flight, while doing a figure eight, The motor quit and then restarted in midair! I checked all of my connections and my motor was cool. My ESC was also cool because I had only been in flight for approximately 2 minutes. I can't do 3D yet mostly hovering and some FF. What gives? Any ideas?

If it happens when the battery is not hooked up then it sounds more like a charger issue than a battery issue. Give us a call and we can talk about what it could be.
