Bantam E-902 problems!
 

Hi Guys!
I have a Hi-Model 1700mAh LiPo pack.
I am trying to cycle it with bantam charger but I can 't figure how to do:
I tried two times to cycle with bantam. Everytime I can't get more than 600mAh at the end of charging process.
Last time I discahrged it using Accu Cycle Elite and get 1450mAh. Put it again in Bantam and charged it using 500mAh of charge.
After 120 minutes I have a message: .. TIME.. and the process was finished with a total of ONLY 650maH!!
What's WRONG?
E-902 beeps and display at the end of a charge process different messages: TIME or END. What's difference between then?
Every charging process I use a bantam PB5 balancer.
Thanks any help.

You are not telling the information that is needed.

1). Is the 902 charger set for Lithium Polymer?
2). Are you using the Li-xx Discharge function?
3). You did not specify the discharge rate you have the charger set for.

Time indicates that the Safety Timer has triggered. This is set in the User Setup and defaults to 120 minutes. End means that the charger has finished.

It is very possible that the 1700 lipo pack is only giving you 650 mah depending at what discharge rate you are setting the charger for. The 902 is capable of 9.9 amp discharge rate.

I found that the safe time was set to only 120min. I changed to 720min.
Now my Bantam is charging at full my packs.
