hyperion balancer trouble
Anybody happen to be using an LBA -10 balancer made by Hyperion. I purchased one a little while back to plug into my Hyperion charger. Tried using it today getting fault indications. I just have the the battery running into the balancer right now. Due to a soldering of connectors problem I have listed in another post. What is meant by this is that I am not running the balancer through the charger I've just got the battery connected to the adapter board (thunder power) and that connected to the balancer.
When I plug them together the status lights for both battery types blink on and off for a little bit. Then the Lipo light blinks (four) times indicating that there is some sort of "connection or wiring error". I'm curious as to what type of wiring error could be occuring if I am using factory supplied wiring here.
The batteries have a frest charge on them using the charger alone.

RE: hyperion balancer trouble
I have the balance connector plugged into the side of the Lba 10. The Lba 10 is then plugged into the hyperion charger, and the charger is connected to a battery. And when the battery is then connected to the data board the status lights on the lba 10 blink and give the indication that there is some sort of a connection problem. I have everything plugged in the right way, since there is only one way to plug everything in.

RE: hyperion balancer trouble
I am having the same exact problem. I mean this thing is like childs play as far as how to use. Maybe they are just bad units. If I put a little pressure on the battery like squeeze it a little with my hand The lights speed up and then it won't even go into the green light 4 flash error it just keeps rapidly blinking the two status lights.

RE: hyperion balancer trouble
I'm assuming that you have an LBA 10. What I mean by the "status" lights are the lights that are on the top far left. They idicate if you are trying to balance either Lipo (green light) or an A123 pack (red light). When I first plug the battery into the adapter board the red and green blink on and off a few times. Then when it recognizes that it is a Lipo pack, only the green light blinks 4 times, which according to the manual means there is a faulty connection.
The cell lights are separate to the right of these lights. I've read into that part of the process, supposively when it works as planned some cell lights are green and some red. So that you see it balancing from cell to cell.
The batteries work fine in the airplanes that I fly with them. So if there is a connection problem it must not be with them it must be with the data board connection. I wonder how that can be if it is new out of package though.
