RE: Thunder AC680 - CONNECTION BREAK?

So I'm used to using the 2S/3S LiPo with cell balancer connector; I can't tell if you're using a cell balancer on that configuration - will pull images into Photoshop and zoom in.

AFTER I reread the previous post in which the person indicated they returned the first charger (LiPo didn't show up in menu - I can't begin to imagine how that is happening...), and then they...

RE: LiPo Life

This is a very important take-away... even my expensive ESC has the LVC set far too low to be healthy for the batteries. I didn't even think about it or realize that fact until very recently. I try...

RE: LiPo Life
