Drone battery charge time?

[regster]

Hello regster,

Would you mind to test the battery by the voltmeter ?

Waiting for the further feedback

I have tested with two types of testers and I have the same result.
A cell remains out of balance

What can I do?

And on my charger, the green indicator does not light up either, and when I start charging the battery, the red indicators always flash 6 times, then pause for 1 second and then again 6 times, and so endlessly. There is no controller to check how many volts are in the batteries, but after three hours of charging I insert the battery into the drone and turn on the remote with the phone, show 95% charge, turn off - turn on (restart) the drone and the remote show 100% charge. I tried to charge for 5 hours, the result did not change and the red indicators blink 6 times and 1 second pause, and again 6 times to infinity. What could it be?

Well, the video clearly shows that the cells are still unbalanced so I would say that the charger is not working as it should. You can try to discharge the battery by flying for a while and than charge again to see if anything changes but personally I would invest in a good 3rd party balance charger which in my opinion is a good investment anyway.

I can certainly recommend the original SkyRC B6 or B6 Mini or the newer technology Turnigy or Ulrapower UP160

You can very easily make an adapter cable in 2 minutes from a standard 3S balance extension cable.

thanks I had already opted for that solution but I'm waiting for cables from amazon. Meanwhile, the loader has already arrived:

Good choice!

For that charger you want the adapter cable like this (XT60 connector instead of the banana plugs):

I've asked before, but is anyone prepared to share their Internal Resistance measurements for these packs.
I'm interested in whether I'm just unlucky on getting 3 mediocre batteries

and my other battery



I suspect these results are due to a protection circuit inside the battery as it would be a very strange coincidence that all these batteries have such a similar result.

Get a balance charger

Thankyou.
I'm going to manually measure the IR once I can get a decent connector to support a high current load.
I feel like a dismantling of a battery pack is in order however.
I really don't understand how you can get these readings, but they are consistent!
Hopefully cell 2 is correct, and something is going wrong with the measurements for 1&3.
two of mine....

Hello to all the group, I made a video to build a cable (THANKS TO YOU) for charging the Zino In order to use professional magazines, WITHOUT having to change anything original! You can see it here:
