[old guy]

Hi I have a Hyperion 3s 1800mAh lite Storm vx 20c. OK it is sitting at 9.8volts and I'm trying to run it through a Hyperion EOS0606i-B on store. ass soon as I hook it up it comes up Balancer voltage too high. I tried to charge it but it would not let me. so what is up and what do I do?? any help would be nice
Thanks Rick

is it reading it as a 2s?

Did you set the charger up to charge 2S or 3S? Check that first. Doesn't your charger also have a discharge cycle? You could try discharging the battery a little bit and then trying again.

as soon as I hook it up it comes up Balancer voltage too high and will not let me do any thing I have the charger set up for 3 cells and 1800mah???

I just did 10 lipos this way and this one was about number 6 so as I did the other lipos I put the funny one on a balancer for a day and it still comes up the same

You should be able to plug in your battery to your charger without having to hook up the balancer to discharge the battery. Give that a try, if not take your boat or what have you for a quick spin to discharge the batteries.

Old Guy, remember that you are discharging the battery not charging!!

[westbeach]

Rick,

I see that you are in BC. Where?

[old guy]

OK I discharged the lipo. It only was on for about a minute and a half then tride to hook it back up and it started to yell at me again. some times 65% nitro in a cut is not so bad lol so now what

Rick, try doing a full cycle of discharge first then charge her up. Without a balancer attached.

Must not be too many FE boaters up there other than yourself? Are others running nitro/gassers?

[old guy]

Ok it done and this is what I got

charge 62.07 01180
LP 89ma 12.559V

and it is a bit puffy so I think it history

no one up here in to boats but me all car and rock crallers and planes

[old guy]

well got home from work to day and it is so puffy it is going to explode so it's going out side in the snow untill I go to work. I have never seen one like that I'm glad it was in my clay charging pot. thanks for the help

Rick, sorry to hear about your lipos. At least you didn't burn your boat or house! I guess you get to treat yourself to some new ones

[old guy]

Just had to look at it, so cut it open and only 1 sell was bad. got the wires off any reason why I can't make it in to a 2s for my rock crawler it was a 3s 1800 so would I not get a 2s 1200 just would not have the balance plug. but shuld be good for a rock crawler with a brushless motor.
