Kraton New batteries...

[typhon34]

Battery still working all good??
Just ran mine doen to lvc in the outcast.
Cell 1 & 2 were 2.9v and the rest 3.4v.....
Not hot and no puff but thats a fair way out.
Its currently on storage charge to see if it balances back out ok....

Mine's still good, but I've never run it below 3.7...
Hope yours heals up!

I usually check and turn it off about 3.6v because the first couple i owned puffed and stuffed on their first ever runs. They were replaced under warranty but i get a little paranoid with them now...
Anyway... After storage all back to 3.8v

Good to hear that!

If you have access to a volt meter, test the cells with it to make sure the chargers balance circuit is working correctly... I had a turnigy charger that went bad, and was overcharging cell 2 on all my packs, and sounds exactly like what you are descibing... I balanced my pack at 3.8, then checked with volt meter and cell 2 was reading 4 volts. That charger killed 130$ in packs before I figured it out... and of course turnigy would do nothing for me. Got my hyperion charger and have not looked back...

Yep... I have a volt checker.
All 6 cells are now between 3.78 and 3.8.
Cell 1 is saying 15% and the other 5 say 30% tho.
My second basher all at similar volts but all cells at 30% so i may have been hurt a little bit?
I asked arrma a while ago about raising the lvc to at least 3.4v on the esc but they said its at 3.2v and cant be changed.
This is the very reason why i wanted to do it.

Oh well... I'll give it a full charge and see how it goes ?

The 2 cells that were low must be weak cells.... Especially if the same thing happens next time. You can get an lva and set it to a higher voltage. When the alarm sounds shut it down. As long as the pack balances and is not puffed, and performance seems ok, i see no reason to stop using that pack. I have 1 2s that does 5he same thing, tho not as extreme. Been using it for nthe 3rd summer now. I do balance it before charging as SPC recommended to me.

 

[typhon34]

It was still a bit out of whack when i charged it back up. 2 cells overcharged a little bit and the rest were all 4.1v...
After about 15 minutes it was down to halfway.. All cells 46-52% and all volts in the 3.8's... So it still seems ok.
Ive ordered an alarm to hook up when i run it from now on tho

Yo, I just got my BASHERS in the mail. These things look bad A$$. I don't think I have ever seen a single 6S hard case before. These feel lighter, but it could just e in my head. That was the main reason behind buying them. I want to measure the weight difference between these and the two 3S I am normally using.
