voltage cell error means the charger doesnt see 2 cells. You input that its a 2cell lipo, but it cant read that there are 2 cells in the pack. Most likely, a connection inside the pack has failed. Ive had this happen with a skylipo.
Downside to buying cheap packs. Ive owned probly 10 skylipo packs, 3 of which have failled in some way(after a fair amount of use)
It doesnt bother me, since the money I spent on the 10 packs would have only bought me maybe 3 Big Brand packs.

I have a "blinky balancer" which is a small card that plugs into the balance plug on a lipo. It 1st displays the # of cells, and then the voltage of each. When I have a problem with a pack, I plug it in. If it reads 1 cell when I plugged in a 2s lipo, then I know the lipo is bad. Or if the cells are way out of balance I know there may be an issue.
