THANK YOU BO HAMMER

Use a meter to measure your current draw & do a 1c discharge test on your battery to see if it's a battery issue or a high amp draw from your electrics.

PUT THE BATTERY ON MY 4PORT HITEC CHARGER AND THE CHARGER DISPLAYS NO BATTERY DETECTED.SO NEW BATTERY MUST BE BAD.THANKS FOR YOUR SUG.BO
ALSO THE BAT STEALS READS 3.1 VOLTS ON MY HAND METER.THIS IS THE FIRST TIME USEING A LIFE PACK WAS NOT READY FOR THE FIRST ONE TO BE BAD.BUT ALOT OF GUYS USE THEM SO I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE.HOPE IT WORKS WELL AND IT WASENT ME.I REALLY DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT BATTERYS IN GENERAL.

With a new life battery you should cycle it at least one time before use . If you didn't do it you might have just run it to long the first time and caused damage.

You should never ever allow the battery pack to be discharged below 3V (per cell). If available, set the low voltage alarm to 6.2 V.

NO I DID NOT CYCLE IT JUST PLUGGED IN AND USED IT TILL THE SERVOS STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP.AND SINCE THE CHARGER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT ITS PLGGED IN I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE.AND I WILL CYCLE IT.THANKS GUYS BO
