RE: Hobbico Voltwatch w/6.0v battery issue?
Hi!
Could be that one cell in one of the batteries are bad! Check the voltage on each cell (digital voltage meter) while you run the servos! Each cell should show 1,25V or more!!! If 1V or less, one cell is bad and the whole battery pack should be replaced!
The problem could also be you are charging your HiMH batteries with a fast charger!
All modern fast charging devices uses Delta peak charging and as all modern NiMH batteries are notorious to suddenly show voltage peaks (voltage spikes) during charging your charger notice this and stops charging! So if we want to charge our NiMH cells and be certain enough amps is coming in, we better use an old fashioned slow charger (Wall charger)...or use a more modern battery ...like A123.
