David247 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi Is there any thing you have to do the first time you connect the battery because mine is giving me weak battery check battey warnings and the only way I can get it to charge is to remove the balance charger connector while the usb charger is connected and reconnect im using a turnigy 1000mah 11.1 v I haven't tryed to charge up the battery yet because of this Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepetro Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Can you show us a screen cap of this section in Device Monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapingBad Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 You may need to give it a little time to read the battery and it is worth putting the battery on a multi meter to check it's total voltage and the voltaged of the balance taps. I have not got my board yet so these are just bits I have picked up reading the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 If the pack shipped with a cell out of balance, it will charge but it will likely charge very slowly. Get a reading of the 3 cells from the EScribe device monitor and post them here. We may need to walk you through a USB recovery charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David247 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thanks for the replys its not looking good, is it the battery or is it my soldering skills lolRegards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepetro Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 The next step would be to remove the battery and measure each one of the cells with a multimeter. See if you indeed have a dead Cell 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David247 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I just updated the board and getting these readings nowRegards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 David, If you have a multi-meter, measure the total pack voltage and see if it matches the 4V reported in the device monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
