Howdy, I have been using the wall charger that came with my Airtronics radio the packs and radio are 1 yr. old my tx. now only charges to 10.5 volts when it used to hit 11.2 or more right off the charger. I am wondering what should I do and about how to cycle them Ive run them down and recharged several times in the last year I'm afraid my capacity has went out the window, don't know about the reciever pack haven't checked it with a voltmeter in a long time some advice please. Thanks
sounds like you may have a dead or dieing cell. My advice would be to first test the batteries on another charger(to make shure its not your charger), and if they still dont hold, get a new one. Its not worth a battery dieing in the middle of a flight when i think the big 2100mah pack dont cost but 40$ or so...
