Power Issues

Then we agree. As a rule I check my packs with a lipo checker before putting them on a charger in case one cell is dead or damaged. If so, then I don't even bother with charging.

My actual point was that if you're running 2 or more packs in parallel, you need to make sure the the packs are charged to the same voltage before connecting them up, else they can self balance the voltage between them rather rapidly. I wasn't talking about balancing in the usual sense of balancing the individual cells in the pack

I have 2 nearly new Lipo packs for sale as I bought the wrong voltage :-(
They are optipower 6cell 100c packs I'm open to offers and will be taking them to next event.
