<DIV>One thing I have begun doing is checking pack voltage before I fly,
verifying full charge condition. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Having multiple battery sets, I may have gotten confused once (I will
deny it in public tho) and took off with a partially discharged pack, couldn't
figure out why I lost power and had to land about half way thru a
flight....... Whoops.... If I had actually done that, I guesstimate
I would have put back about 5200+ mah into a TP5300, not that I would have
actually done that ever <IMG

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good news is, the pack seems fine, has over 70 cycles on it now and still
going strong (when I charge it)</DIV>

for all the inputs. The second pac only took 2500 Mah, so may'be the
<BR>batteries just need more time to be formed. I will continue to make
short <BR>4 - 5 minute flight for the next 6 flights to hopefully form the
cells <BR>better. I feel better about it tonight after putting back 2300
and 2500 <BR>respectively, back into each pack :)<BR>----- Original Message

How many flights, should you put a new pack through to break them in?
I<BR>>> charged the first pack that I flew tonight and put back 2300
Mah, the<BR>> second<BR>>> pack looks like it will take 3000 to be
replenished, which is about the<BR>> 80%<BR>>> of the pack.
After putting that much back in the pack earlier I am going<BR>>
to<BR>>> have to throw these packs away as no good, or do I keep flying
them and<BR>> see<BR>>> what happens?<BR>>> Thanks for your
responses so far. I think that I may have enough room<BR>>
10S<BR>>> 5000 extreme. I am about three ounces over, sure I can
find a way to<BR>> make<BR>>> it work for the NATS.<BR>>> -----
