Guys,
I recently had a few of my LIPO packs do some strange things. Two packs hit LVC during what had been normal flight loads and time. A third went through the full flight but when I started to charge it at the normal 1C rate one cell took off after about 15mins of charge causing the TT 610C charger to stop the charging cycle. I let that pack sit for a week and reduced the charge rate to 1/10C and charged the pack completely to full balanced charge. The other packs I also charged at the same low rate and all seem balanced and fully charged. These are the first LIPO's I brought and have about 60 flights each. They are 8 -10C 3850mah packs, I normally would pull about 2650mah out. Looking at the static load of the prop it seems that I may have been pushing the amp loading as the standard prop that I use pulled 38amp (static) which should have been OK.
Question, I have lightened the prop load to 32amp (smaller diameter) and flown through the pattern (leaving out the level laps) and all seems fine. With the slow charge and lower draw can these batteries recover?
Best, DennisT
