<div style="margin: 0px;">Hi Bob,</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"> </div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Could it be that your battery was just
too cold?</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">I've had that happen.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">As the season progresses and our
batteries get a lot of use, and they, like us, get a little tired from
time to titme.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;"> </div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">If that happens again unplug the battery
wait a minute or two and plug it in again.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">When I've done that it goes back to one
beep.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">I warm it up a little and fly my whole
sequence.<br>

<div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I had
something happen Saturday that is new for me . . . . I was going to
put up a flight with my 62" Osiris for a club airshow, I advanced the
throttle to take off, the plane accelerated, then the motor quit. The
Castle Controller was emitting two beeps, indicating a low voltage
error. One of the club members had a meter that measures individual
cell </span>voltages<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> and everything
looked OK. I used another pack to put up a flight with no issues.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; background-color: transparent;"><span><span
style="font-size: 12pt;">When I got home I discharged the suspect pack
and recharged it. I flew it yesterday and it seemed to work OK. I was
practicing(!) some </span>maneuvers<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> repeatedly
and the pack quit unexpectedly again, but it may have been my fault for
not paying attention to the flight time.</span></span></div>

style="font-size: 12pt;">Is this a sign of pending failure? The pack
has maybe 30 cycles on it. I have had other packs get puffy and weak
but this pack is rock solid. The pack is a</span></span><span
