Good evening
Just had a great day of bashing in the Northwoods of Central Park. Battery lasted forever felt like. I had about 45 minutes of great bashing, and then I drove the car about two miles home on a walk. I thought the battery life was great, but it was definitely a little bit more than I expected.
I was running 2 3s batteries in series in my Typhon. When I went to put them on the storage charger I noticed that one of my 3s batteries was reading 9.69 volts. Doing the math, you know at least one of those cells is below three and a half volts. I took the battery off the charger which is a venom pro duo, so I know that the voltmeter in there is fairly reliable. I then verified it with the second lipo checker at about 2.92 volts. The others were reading 3.5 and 3.6 respectively.
I use hobbystar batteries from RC juice which have been pretty reliable and I haven't had this issue before. I'm sure that batteries do fail eventually, but I'm a little concerned that the other five cells were around 3.5 volts and then the ESC decided to cut off. It never cut off one that one cell got lower than 3 volts. Anybody else have this issue, and is this an ESC problem?
