That's highly unlikely. You must have misplaced the decimal point. 0.5V is 50% of the packs capacity. If true, the packs were the problem, not the charger.

Sorry to say hoppy, but it was true and we did suspect the packs, two turnigy and a 3E, but after charging each on my Hitec once or twice the battery packs showed no more than .1 volt from lowest to highest and on 2 of the packs the next charge was spot on at 4.20 Volt per cell. This tells me it was not the battery packs. However, a club member purchased one of the HK units and it has worked flawlessly on all batteries. So it seems there may be some inconsistency in the manufacturing!

What you described does not seem possible. The pack is charged through the main power leads with all three cells getting the same mah pumped into them (if their starting voltages were about the same). There is no way that one of the cells would only charge to 50% and the other to 100% if the pack was healthy. There's more to this story (like the CellPro checker was at fault). |
