SkyRC e6 ACinput charger is giving me fits!!!!
When i plug in my 3s 1400mah pack, i get a blinking 1s cell LED and the charging status LED also flashes red, in the manual it says "discharging" but it only mentions the cell LED, nothing about the charging status one... I highly doubt that this charger will discharge for more than 24 hours because the pack has been hooked up for 2 days with the same results... Im about to give up, any ideas?

without knowing what the voltages are it's difficult to know what the charger is doing to the point of just random guessing, Led display chargers are ok for nickel batteries but for lipo it's best to have a display.

I'd advise to invest in a charger with a screen to show voltages, capacity and whether the charge mode or discharge. It should take roughly one hour to charge a lipo depending on specs of charger/battery. Leaving a lipo on charger, or even connected to anything for two days is a very bad thing to do. A lot of people start off with the very basic charger and quickly upgrade to a better charger, I'm onto my third and hopefully last.
