  I hav ea real stumper and hope someone can help.

  I have a brand new Zippy 2100 Mah lipo pack (3s1p 11.1V) for the motor of an electric plane. The Deans connector and balance plug came soldered on the shrink wrapped pack. The problem is I can NOT charge it Every time I hook the battery to my E-Station BC-6 charger I get an alarm and a message that says "connection break". I have checked and double checked the connections and the settings and nothing seems to help. Every time it's the same, I hold down the start button, the charger checks the pack then goes into connection break mode.

  What I have checked and tried:
  Polarity is correct
  Tried charging at lower and higher rates with exactly the same results
  Plugged it into the plane an all servos and the motor work  
  Tried charging a similar pack (different brand) on the same settings and it works
  In all cases I am charging through the Deans connector

  I don't know what else to try. if anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.

  Thanks
  Anthony
