Lipo at low voltage
hey I just went to plug in my 3s lipo into myturnigy accucel 6. And it says battery check and then it says low voltage. So I googled it and supposedly this means that the voltage in on cell is very low and your supposed pu on nihm charge at 0.1 amp for a minute then it's good but I tryed this with it and it hit 3v then started going down so dose any one have any idea on what to do

RE: Lipo at low voltage
When my accucell 6 barked "low voltage" at me, i backed down the current, and it worked fine. Turns out, my weak power supply was sagging in voltage under load.
Get yourself a beefier PSU or charge at a lower current!

I have a charger that plugs right into a wall or a 12volt battery, I wouldn't have it any other way.

If only getting 1 charger yea the one with the built in AC jack is probably a smarter choice, if looking at multiple chargers DC only with an external PSU are the way to go

RE: Lipo at low voltage
It was not a low power supply but it turns out that 2 of the cells where around 2.6v but after charging it in nihm mode until 9v then it charged fine. Now I just need to cycle a few times to hold a charge
