Status: offline 		 I have a question for the battery experts. I just picked up a Hobbico life receiver battery 1800 mah. Also the matched Hobbico life ac/dc charger. The Manuel says to first connect the balance connector, then the main wire. Both are brand new out of the box, but the charger keeps giving "reverse polarity" error. I checked the battery with a meter, and it shows the correct polarity? 

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks
Ed

Status: offline 		Try checking the output polarity of the charger for correct polarity. The output leads could have been reversed during manufacturing?

Status: offline 		 I talked to hobbico today, it is an ironic coincidence that a 2 cell battery when fully charged flashes for each cell when it is done, since the battery is new and checked correctly with a multimeter, it just happenst to be fully charged, and the flashes showing a fully charged 2cell, is the same blinking pattern as the reverse polarity error. If I had a 1 or 3 cell I would have caught it

Learned something new today, it did take a while for us to come to that conclusion
