[NSRCA-discussion] Battery going bad?<br> </font> </div> <br><div id="yiv178922797"><div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><div><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><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent; "><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br></span></div><div style="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><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent; "><span><span style="font-size:12pt;"><br></span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times,
serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent; "><span><span 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 style="font-size:12pt;background-color:transparent;"> Rhino 5S 5000mAH 25C pack.</span></div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; "> </div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; ">Bob Kane<br>getterflash@yahoo.com</div></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<br><a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion<br><br> </div> </div> </div></div></div><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
