Hey Tassos.

This is exacly what I tried you to explain the whole time to use a simple battery checker.
The discussion about high amps of the 8911 is simply just NOT the case!!!!!
Happy for you it turned out right.
Thanks alot Didier,

I was struggling to understand what was wrong. However I never expected the truth to be so far out. 10 or 20% difference I'd understand but 700% difference I don't understand.And you know when you see this on your plane its frightening and makes you think what is wrong with your setup!!!!

I will investigate in depth with Powerbox to see what is wrong. Maybe it is a software bug that they have not discovered yet.

Thanks,

Tassos
