    Hi
    Have you tried to spot well the nickel strips to the magnets around this circumference of the magnet, you then have a nickel tab to solder toor clip. Magnets do not loose any magnetism

    I have a similar Turnigy unit that keeps giving a Baance Error – any ideas??

    That cell that got up to above 4.2 was probably at that higher voltage the whole time there is just voltage drop on the cables it just goeos back up to check and see the real voltage

    Ya my 3s balance leads are the same i just put a – on the negative side but I am kinda thinking back i should have just repined them at least the black and red

    I always wondered what fast charge is supposed to be since you can set the amps

    You really should rearrange those wires according to industry standard. One mistake may be catastrophic. Black should be negative, red positive. The other colours are for balance only.

    Why does it have to be so complicated? It's really not worth the trouble. New technology always complicat things. Oh it's so great. But you need a PhD to understand a unstable system.

    Little tip is to use a small button head 2mm steal screw on the positive terminal of those 18650 holders to get connection. Or was that an issue in the previous video of yours I watched??? I'm trying to build a cradle in series to use my RC charger for my ecig 18650's and would like to balance charge while doing so. This has been helpful thanks

    Also dont choose the LIPO option for LI ION cells!
    LI ION cells are NOT lipo cells!

    There is a different setting called LI-on or LI ION
    thats the charge setting you want.
    It might charge these quite hard at the LIPO setting

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars realflow100 says:

    if you connected ONLY the balance leads backwards. nothing would happen. but if you attached the main charging lead CORRECTLY. something might go bang. (luckily for me on my imax b6 v2 charger nothing happened! phew! still works.
