Power issue
<span lang="EN">
Ok, so hear is the deal. Brand new 2 meter plane. New Hymax 6330-210, with an ICE 80 HV that has about 20 flights on another plane that worked flawlessly. I am using Power Unlimited’s Dean’s series connector.</p>

Maiden today. First flight goes off without a hitch. Second flight…..plug in the batteries and get 10 beeps and the arming code. Taxi out and give it power . It felt a little weak, but being new to 2 meter electric, I lifted off and knew off the bat I didn’t have any power. Just got it turned around to the field going down wind. Pan caked it in and took out the landing gear plate.</p>
I downloaded the Castle file and the voltage for the bad flight was only 20 volts. I checked both batteries after and they were fine on voltage. Both batteries have about 30 flights on them.</p>
I hooked up the same batteries on the bench and they now show 40 volts on the Castle file and it runs fine. This whole thing doesn’t make any sense. How could the controller arm in the first place if only one battery connection was open to be only 20 volts? If the series connection is broken, “no” voltage would reach the controller, not half the amount.</p>
Anyone have any ideas?</p>
Thanks</p></span>
