RE: She DUMPED @ 4.5!
G'day Mate,
I did read the post, but my point is, that it was a NEW battery, it had not been slow charged, had been fast charged a week before & had never been cycled, but had been used to move servos & could have been under load for 1/2 to 1 hour, before it dumped, & he had no idea what it's capacity was, & hence had no idea how much charge it had in it, when he started setting up his plane.
So he just blamed the receiver for locking out, he had no idea what the voltage was, at the time it stopped working.
This is the sort of thing that worries people that have no experience with Spektrum, or any other radio for that matter, they think that if they turn their radio's on, the batteries will go flat in minutes, the RX will lock out, & if the plane is in the air, it will crash.
But if they do a few basic things, like balance charging, & cycling their batteries, to check their capacity, the chances of battery failure are greatly reduced, if not eliminated.
