Very swift reply from Julian indicating everything's ok Can't wait, really looking forward to something with a bit of punch

Ok 2nd charge and ir readings range from 9.6 to 13.5

After I stood back up again I asked myself Is this normal?

Julian...

Not sure. What charger are you using? My PL8 shows IR per cell not a total so it's difficult to compare.

[robgt]

Those IR's are high.

Cheers,

Ok 2nd charge and ir readings range from 9.6 to 13.5

More details would be great

Which charger, exactly how is the pack connected to the charger (which balance board etc.) and were those figures from the start, middle, end of the charge?

[ChrisB]

Cell pro 10s cell pro balance board ir readings at end of charge.

[Mark_T]

Those are odd readings indeed.

Do you recall the values you got on the first charge?

Also what sort of values are you seeing on your other packs?

[ChrisB]

Didn't check first charge will do my 4th charge a bit later tonight and report back.

Other packs,Opti IR under 3,Turnigy IRs various packs but worst is 3.5 all with same balance leads etc.

[Mark_T]

I'd expect the FP pack to be in the same territory if not better, so something certainly isn't right there.

If you post the results from the 4th charge it should be enough to confirm a pattern.

[ChrisB]

Will take a small video nearing end of charge showing figures etc.

If this qualifies as being a bit anal I apologise

[ChrisB]

It readings have gone up will email FP about it

Will charge my Opti now on same charger and leads and vid that for comparison.

Sorry vid is on its side.

Thanks the videos do help.

Couldn't see clearly enough to be sure, but the balance lead is going down fully into the balance board I assume?

Assuming the Opti is still in the normal range for this size of Lipo I'd suggest you drop Julian an email as those IR figures are quite a way off normal.

Anyone close to you with a PL6 or PL8 that can verify the figures? Not that I'm expecting them to be different given the way the other packs are reporting but it never hurts to be sure

[ChrisB]

Have a pl8 also will fly it tomorrow (the lipo not the charger) and charge it on that.

[Mark_T]

No harm in letting Julian know what you've found already as the PL8 will just be the confirmation if it is the same.

[ChrisB]

Opti 6s 2700 same charge setup.

Thanks, something is up for sure, I'd have expected the FP pack to be a bit better than those Opti figures to be honest so it does look like something is wrong.

It may be an issue with the balance connector rather than the pack but either way it is something to let Julian know about so he can get it sorted.
