Default RE: Continued Battery Life Problems

ORIGINAL: mehrshad

use an ammeter to check the current consumption of your system.
10min discharge time means over 5c or about 10A!!!
it will generate more than 50watt heat on something!
I think the problem is related to the voltmeter of the fail safe system.


That's what I was wondering.

Is this a known issue with Futaba FASST 2.4ghz receivers?

And yeah, the batteries are never hot. Not even after charging.

I was also thinking that if it was drawing that much current (theoretically, of course) that it would melt the wires.
