Wayne,

What brand of LiFe battery failed??
2, Fromeco, 3600mah IronCorp packs. These packs were getting to be close to 4 years old and I probably
had about 300 flights on them.. I normally charge at the field immediately before flying, typically fly 3 or 4
flights during the day and they normally require 1500mah-1800mah per pack to recharge them the next weekend.
This particular time I charged both packs the night before and they needed about 600mah per pack but
as I recall I only flew 1 full and 1 short flight the previous weekend so that didn't seem unreasonable.
Now, both packs seem to self discharge very quickly with no load.
