Default ***WARNING SWALLOW CHARGER****

Hi All

My swallow charger on the weekend decided to do funny things

when i charged 3 x lipos it decided to discharge them dead flat 2v 3cell lipo i did not relise untill i went to fly .
also it flaten 3 off my planes dead flat and yes it was on the correct settings i thaugt i went through a emp pulse .
so i tried to recharge one off my planes nimh up agian it started at 1.7amp then 1 min later went to.01 amp i stoped straight away and tried another swallow it started charging normaly and it charged that battery i then used the plane again then decided to try and charge with my swallow it started normaly then went to.01 amp charge i stoped and tested the battery it had been disharged more .

so my swallow cost me 3 x lipos

i have given it back to my local hobby store there sending it to model engines in aust as it is only 11 months old .i just hope model engins warrent this and maybe my batterys .i will keep u informed .

it was a expencieve price to pay if just the charger went not so bad but taking down my lipos that hurts .

so guys keep an eye on them .
