Re: iMAX B6

Hate to rez this again but i', having a wee bit of trouble, just got my new 7.4 20c 1200mah batts, they came with a charge in them but a wana test them/ charge them but when i select either charge or balance and hold the start button it says 'connnection break' i didnt get an instruction book with this. I read the above thread and jag said its pretty much automatic? i'm not 100% im doing the right thing, any advice?

Re: iMAX B6

i have set it to lipo balance, 0.8a, 7.4v (2s). then i hold the start key and it says connection break. just to be sure do i connect the lipo connector AND the tamiya one or just the lil white one? any help greatly appreciated!

Re: iMAX B6

you need to check the connection between the battery and the imax. it says connection break becuase theres no connection.

Re: iMAX B6

nope :p , that means there is a fault with the lipo mate

had it with a blown cell lipo, says connection break , no matter how good the plugs were together

get the 2 cells tested mate

Re: iMAX B6

just got it out of its packet from shop of components, not used it/fired it anything, it shouldnt be funked??? how do i test them?

[guard-sniper87]

Re: iMAX B6

take it to an rc shop ro test the cells , or buy a alarm tester that plugs into the balancing socket

also check you have the correct connecters attached

Re: iMAX B6

ok am i being a mong? i have put the little white plug directly into the little white plug recepticle on the actuall charging unit, the one marked '2 cell' thingy. then i hold the start button....i know i have dick fingers and everything i touch gets f****d. but killing 2 spankers batts is still a bit unbelievable.

Re: iMAX B6

why is it ,

i had lipos from that shop and both died , after one game usage

then brought from HK and for 10 quid got 3 batteries and work brilliantly

Re: iMAX B6

just a place like shop of components has such a good rep, and when i say i have not used them i mean i have fired 3 rounds from my gun, not a whole games usage...

Re: iMAX B6

ok tried my mates lipo which i KNOW is fine and it is not connecting to that either, so must be the charger. pooooooo

Re: iMAX B6

You need to connect both the little connector and the main connector ( that you would connect to your gun) to the charger. The charge goes thru the larger connector and is monitored/balanced thru the small connector.

Re: iMAX B6

A pic of the setup as per the fault would help.

you do know what the term connection break is right ? whether a cell doesnt pass current or the tamiya connections are pants and not conencted right. it all results in the smae thing, connection break on the screen...

its much more likely a tamiya connector isnt properly connecting.. use a multimeter.. you can test the cell to check its current level you can test the wiring to locate a break
