Schulze Warning #7
I am trying to charge my first LIPO with my Schulze isl 6-330d. The battery is a Thunder Power 2 cell 1320mah.
Five minutes in the charge I get a Warning #7 and "b1 wrong cell count". The charger is showing 8.3v plus. I ran the battery down to EC cutoff which is set at 6v.
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks
Wes

I've set it three different times. I found something on the Schulze web site that sounds like this problem, but unfortunately, they don't day what to do about it.

If it is showing 8.3V it probably charged OK. It may just be an error that instead of quiting when it should it errors. Fly the battery.

RE: Schulze Warning #7
I doubt the pack's charged up in 5 minutes...
I suspect that you might be pushing the pack too hard on whatever you're flying. Yes, you're running the pack until cutoff, but it's really a kind of "false" cutoff. Pushing the battery too hard will cause the voltage to drop off drastically, but it will bounce back somewhat when the load is removed from the battery. Doing this repeatedly will eventually ruin the battery pack.
