your battery was just too cold?</div>

happen.</div>
<div style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 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-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">If that happens
again unplug the battery wait a minute
or two and plug it in again.</div>
<div style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">When I've done
that it goes back to one beep.</div>

<div style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 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>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 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>
<div><span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></span></div>
<div><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>
