Default GSU reads 13 volts????

JetCat P120 witn Kero start using A123 3s pack. Have many flawless runs.
All of a sudden kept getting OVERTEMP shutdowns. Noticed battery voltage
on the GSU said 9.2 volts. Used my FMA-4s balance charger and recharged.
First start was good but only 97k rpm's not 123k.

GSU now is reading 12 to 13 volts??? Checked A123 battery with two different
electrical meters. Both read 10.2volts after charge. Any ideas?

THANKS, TOM

Was the ECU modified by JetCat for A123 batteries??

If not, you may have damaged the ECU.

Yes, the ECU was modified for A123 batteries.

What should the battery setting be in the ECU?
Nicad 8-cell ?
Lipo 2s ?

THANKS, TOM

hey i had a similar thing this weekend with a friends ecu except the voltage was reading lower than the true battery voltage ,was told by another jc user he had seen something similar and that the power board in the ecu has a problem,,i think your settings would be the 8-cell if your 123s are a 3-cell pack 9.9 volts
