Aye I've tried charging both and they both come up with the same issue. When I try to use the normal charge mode, it starts charging and displays this:

I've tried out putting it on Storage mode and weirdly enough, it says the cells are too low of voltage for storage mode. However, when I try to Balance Charge it, the charger says that the battery is already full. Seems really weird.

Sorry but I don't, I've just started trying to get into RC so I don't have much on hand.

Hey all, I've recently recevied my iMax B6AC Balance Charger and Zeee 2S 5200mah batteries from Amazon. When I tried to balance charge my LiPo's using 5A 7.4V, it started beeping and said that the battery was already full at 8.4v? This seems really weird to me as I didn't think a LiPo would ever come pre-charged. My car will be coming tomorrow so I'll be testing the battery out then, but it just seems pretty out of the ordinary. Thanks!

Hey all, I've bought a Traxxas Rustler XL-5 and it already has a few upgraded in it, primarily being the Hobbywing EZRUN MAX10 ESC and the HobbyWing EZRUN 3652 G2 3300KV Brushless Motor. I'm currently running a 2S LiPo in my car but I'd quite like to upgrade it to a 3S LiPo. I already know that the ESC can handle a 3S LiPo as I just have to reprogram it for 3S, but would the gears in the car itself be able to handle the extra speed from the motor and not wear out quickly? I should also mention that the car has a steel 30 tooth idle gear and a steel ring in the differential, if that makes any difference. Any help is appreciated as I'm quite a noob at RC and don't know a whole load about it. Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks for the advice! Just bought it now. Here's the car that I bought, it's a Traxxas Rustler XL-5 and it has an hobbywing max 10 brushless motor, hobbywing max 10 ESC, steel differential and steel idle gear. I managed to get it from a friend for £180 which I think was a pretty good deal, especially for my first car. Can't wait to get it driving!

Hey all, I'm wanting to get into RC and I've bought my first RC Truck second-hand off of a friend. Now I just need to buy a decent charger. I want to charge 2S 5200mAh batteries but I'm not sure which charger to pick as I'm on a bit of a budget. I'm wondering if this IMAX clone will be any good? It looks like it has all of the proper connectors and that it'd be good to use (from reviews I've found), but I thought I'd double check first. Thanks!
