Hi,


Do you have a multi-meter / volt meter, that you can use to check the balance lead from the battery? You should be able to measure the overall battery voltage, then each (x2) cell voltage from the balance lead.


This would confirm that the balance lead is reading correctly.



Can you set the charger to a non-balance charge?

No meter and the default on the charger is with a balance lead on all profiles, can't see a way to alter that

Hi,


There should be an option of no balance charge.


I've attached the flow chart from the manual.


On the charge menu, you should be able to go from LiPo Balance charge to Lipo Charge, which should not need balance leads to work.

After several hours pressing buttons with no result, I tried the other channel on charger and it seems to be OK , so fingers crossed. Thanks for your help
