I think that I might have also had a similar experience with the Astro charger. <BR>I had a pak that had been in storage for about 3 weeks and decided to top it off before flying, but noticed when I connected it to the charger that it started out at the maximum voltage and started increasing from there into territory I had
never seen before.Recognizing that I had never seen voltages this high displayed on the screen before, I immediately terminated the charge. This all happened within a period of 15-20 seconds. <BR>G. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">jeffghughes@comcast.net wrote: <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-TOP: 5pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 5pt" TYPE="CITE"> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> What everybody is assuming is that this was a screw up.It could also just have been a bad cell The manual does say not to put a fully charged pack on the charger and discharge first if any doubt. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: Bob Richards <bob@toprudder.com> <BR>I can't say how the charger works, but
