Faulty Eflite Chargers?
I have a number of Eflite Micro Fixed wings and Brushless MCPX, these all use the 7.4 Volt 200mh battery
I have a number of the Celectra 7.4 Chargers, that have a single button and a green and red LED.
This charger - the version number is in the green triangle on the front http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/De...odID=EFLUC1007
I have 3 of them that have the version 1 number on top - these all work flawlessly and charge the batteries in about 30 minutes.. never had a problem with them
I now have 3 of them with a Version 2 number and these all fail to charge correctly.. Even when new and with brand new batteries the charger will just sit there and the green and red LEDs will go on and off randomly (not alternating which I know indicates an error or disconnected battery)
They ALL do the same.. and even if left overnight the batteries won't charge...
What is going on Eflite? I even suspected my first one was faulty so i bought a 2nd one and it was the same.. the 3rd one that came with a new BL MCPX is exactly the same and won't charge..
I am away from home now so I had to borrow a friends version 1 and it charges all the batteries properly...
Anyone else have the same experience?

I have three of those chargers. Two charge to 4.2V and the other doesn't even get close to that. I have yet to send it in to HH but I am sure they will replace it for free.
