Brand new talion v4 running 2 powerhobby 5200mah 3s batteries. After running the car to lvc, I plugged the batteries into the charger and the voltage differs a lot. Any reason why?

50cAre those the 75c rated ones? After a couple runs with the ones I have, they've started becoming harder to keep the cells balanced... I just chalked it up to a bad batch...
That is the pack voltage, what do the cells say? Most likely already damaged a cell due to stress but who knows.
The difference in packs is simply because you didn't suck one down as much as the other.
You should never run to lvc, it's damaging your lipos. Stop before based on time or get a voltage alarm.
Always, always plug in the balance plug when charging.
I'm kind of surprised the charger would even charge them if your in "lipo" mode without the balance tap plugged in.
Always use the balance plug and always balance charge the packs. Don't use "fast charge". While fast charge is quicker, it will likely leave you with cells that are uneven which can become problematic. I'm surprised charger's even have a "fast charge" mode for lipo's... just seems stupid to me.
BothI’m confused now, when I’m charging do I plug both the ec5 connector and balance plug or just the balance plug.
Both. Most chargers that have both, when in "Lipo/LiIon" mode, require both to be used or it faults out with an error.I’m confused now, when I’m charging do I plug both the ec5 connector and balance plug or just the balance plug.
