![]() ![]() ![]() If you discharge a LiPo below ~3.2V per cell, then you are killing it pretty quickly (reducing the number of charge/discharge cycles that it will ever be able to provide at a rated capacity) and potentially killing it dead ("fire in the hole!"). Lithium batteries have no memory, just a finite number of charge/discharge cycles at a rated capacity. ![]() Just sitting there doing nothing (but charger powered on), it sits for 3-5min before the alarm goes off. Update: I just tried plugging the charger into the wall supply, but no battery. I suppose its more likely i damaged the battery, but if so, why does the charger fault even with no battery connected? Maybe i damaged the wall supply? I should probably go and try to charge the battery with the car battery and see how far it gets along. I guess its pointing to the wall supply as the culprit or the battery itself. However, according to the actual owner's manual, the error means: "Erroneous selection of voltage of Lithium pack, please check the voltage of the battery pack." The charger will now power on with the wall supply, but even charging at 1.0A, it will only charge for 3-5min, before the alarm goes off with the "INPUT VOL ERROR".Īccording to the internet (this error is common), this error message means the supply doesn't have enough juice for your charge rate. I set the charge rate to 1.0A and went back inside the house. Today i tried connecting the charger to my car battery. I tried different power outlets around the house, all the same. I can't even use the menus, it goes straight to alarm. Since then, whenever i plug the charger in (even with no batter or balance sense connected at all) it immediately starts alarming and showing the "INPUT VOL ERROR". About 5min into this process, the alarm started going off and the "INPUT VOL ERROR" first appeared. I set the charger to discharge mode and and set it to discharge to 9.0V at 1A. Since then it feels like the battery depletes faster than usual so i tried to "reboot" it by discharging it. I thought it'd be toast, but i put it back on the charger, balanced mode, at 2.0A and it charged up to proper voltage fine. I'm using the 12V 5A wall wart supply from Trossen.Ī few weeks ago i accidentally drew the lipo down to 7.68V which is quite terrible. The charger is about a month old and has been used 4-5 times to charge a 2200mAH lipo at 2.0A using normal charge mode and balance charge mode. Recently my Imax B6 charger gives me a "INPUT VOL ERROR" whenever i plug it in. ![]()
