... I wonder if a similar observation can be made for those with CB issues?
Something like - long leads? - bad solder joints? - bad wiring? - loose 4mm male/female bullets charger side? - chineese knockoff connectors on either chargeleads or battery? Yes, an error like "CB always at 3min-something" is surely a software issue - the interesting part is what physical setup makes is step into that "hole". Would be interesting to see if someone with a CB issue could make a new charge lead no more than 10cm / 4" long, and rerun their charge - just as an data elimination excersise... Sorry if I missed anyone saying they already did so. Also, it would be interesting to know what input voltage does the CB happen at - and if there are there any common denominators there? ... just thinking out loud T |

"hole" I have tried difrent balancing boards,leads,batteries and imput voltages but the only thing that i can see make it break the charge is the time ....... 3 min and 3 sec........... Cheap crap............... |

Which different balancing boards? Both from 208s? One from another source too? Hopefully a board from another vendor too, so we are sure they are not from the same batch of boards? What leads? How long? Identical or similar leads? Homemade or bought? Did you try borrowing leads from a fellow flier to eliminate your own leads too? What input voltages have you tried? Which power source(s)? Have you tried charging off someone elses powersupply? If all you do is put your iCharger (only the unit itself) into someone elses working setup (PSU - charger - leads - batt), does it still fail at 3 min 3 sec? What I was trying to convey was that any precise datapoints those users with CB issues can give, may help Junsi eliminate/pinpoint whats going wrong. Quote:
Just my 2-cents. T |

What about to ask Steve Nue to provide some feedback for his own charger brand?
|

Why? If Junsi is the manufacturer, that should be adequate. Steve "implied" he was relying on Junsi to straighten it out, so let's not confuse the issue as to "who" is working on what, and why. Just my opinions.

Hi, everybody!
Some time ago I wrote here, that I had CB problem with my 208B and I solved it with cleaning the logs. I think it was not all I have done. Also with cleaning the logs I reflashed firmware. I already had the latest 3.11, but I just made a reflash. And the charger started working normally again and it continues to work. Also when I had the connection breakdown I had thoughts of bad connectors, I tried to make new ones (I did not have any factory made connectors for the start, so all of them are handmade) - this did not help. But I noticed, that time of CB message depends on charge current: less current - more time, bigger current - less time to CB. I hope this will help somebody |

Hi!
The idea that a specific batch might be affected is worth considering. I think every charger displays its serial number when powering up, right? If everyone affected by the CB problem would post the serial number of his charger, this might help JunSi to trace back the problem. Did anyone see fluctuating current values on the display with the new firmware? A german dealer mentioned it, bit I'll have to try myself this evening. It can't be that big of a problem, as I don't see anyone mentioning it here. |

This precisely what I was getting at in my earlier post. They need to establish a correlation between the CB errors and the charger i.e. what serial number/firmware. I wonder what Junsi identified that made them believe the new firmware would fix the problem? Whilst I can understand the frustration of the owners with the CB problems, we need to provide meaningful data to Junsi rather than just complaints. Ideally Junsi should set up a register for people to log their issues relating to CB and from that maybe he will find some correlation? I asked about a poll but got no response. My 2 cents worth.

Collecting CB error information?
Well, I can collect the serial numbers and info if noone has a better idea.
Affected users could PM me the problem with a short description, so that I can include it in a posting to avoid having the information spread throughout this whole thread. How about this PM format, so that I only have to do a time-economical copy-n-paste: +++++++ a) screen name b) real name (optional) c) charger type (106B, 1010B+, etc...) d) date of purchase e) vendor f) serial number g) firmware version g) Short problem description, no more than 2 lines please e) Link to a posting where the problem is described in more detail (optional) +++++++ Only this in a PM, nothing else please, I don't have that much time to spare as well. Please don't expect me to answer every PM. |

I see the same thing. When charging with 8.8 A it briefly shows 2.2 A. (This is with my 208B) Also got different results after charging is finished. With 3.11 every cell is 4.2Volt when fully charged, with 3.12 firmware it says 4.15. (I've checked termination volt for Lipo in settings, its 4.2) Petter |
