Title: Slow Balancing?
Post by: Brian Massey on December 19, 2018, 11:54:12 AM
Forgive me for being stupid, but this E stuff is all new. I purchased a box of E-stuff from an estate sale and am trying things out. Included is a ElectriFly Triton EQ charger; no instructions. I hooked up a Zippy 20C 5000 LiPo battery (my brother gave me 4 of them, all good) and everything worked and I got all 4 charged. Now, a month later I plug in a battery an it goes into a "slow balance" mode and never comes out. I kept checking the battery and leaving it on the charger until I forgot about it. The next morning it was still "slow balancing". What am I / did I do wrong? Or is something dying? I get the "slow balancing" with every battery now, none of them seem to actually charge.

Would anyone have the instructions for this charger? If so, could you scan/email it to me?

Thanks,

Brian

Update: Well problem solved. After hitting the "start" button and going through the battery setup procedure I was waiting for something to happen besides the "slow balancing". Turns out I had to press and HOLD the start button again for that to happen. Oh well, hopefully I'll learn.

I don't have that charger, but found this

Slow balancing on page 11.  Hope it helps, and I hope that you didn't leave them fully charged as that isn't good for the batteries.
