I'm assuming that you have an LBA 10. What I mean by the "status" lights are the lights that are on the top far left. They idicate if you are trying to balance either Lipo (green light) or an A123 pack (red light). When I first plug the battery into the adapter board the red and green blink on and off a few times. Then when it recognizes that it is a Lipo pack, only the green light blinks 4 times, which according to the manual means there is a faulty connection.

The cell lights are separate to the right of these lights. I've read into that part of the process, supposively when it works as planned some cell lights are green and some red. So that you see it balancing from cell to cell.

The batteries work fine in the airplanes that I fly with them. So if there is a connection problem it must not be with them it must be with the data board connection. I wonder how that can be if it is new out of package though.
