Hey everyone, this forum is amazing I've loved reading here, so thought I'd make my first post. I've just bought a Traxxas XRT Ultimate and I am so excited to use it.
I'm having some problems charging the batteries which are: Gens Ace Bashing Series LiPo - 4S 14.8V 5000mAh 60C - XT90
Despite reading the instructions I can't make sense of the battery readings on the charger which is eTronix Powerpal 3.0 AC/DC Performance Charger/Discharger - 80W 10A
I don't understand why I have selected 5 amps charge but after a few mins on the charger the amps charging go down to 0.9, please see the attached picture. I have decided to stop charging them as I know they can break if not charged properly.
As far as I know the charger sets off an alarm when the battery is fully charged, which has not happened yet, so I presume the battery isn't over charging?
This is my setup:
eTronix XT90 HD Charging Cable
eTronix Powerpal 3.0 AC/DC Performance Charger/Discharger - 80W 10A
2x Gens Ace Bashing Series LiPo - 4S 14.8V 5000mAh 60C - XT90
Happy RC!
