Hi Sam,

I'm assuming you mean 8.5V? I have never seen this myself, but after a quick google search, apparently this is possible. A maximum voltage of 4.25V per cell.

So yes, I guess this is norman.:)

Not really good! Possibly quite dangerous and will get you kicked out of any race meeting if anyone checks, so no, not normal at all.

How are you measuring the 8.5V? What charger are you using and with what settings?
