What do y’all do while your waitin for your batteries to charge?

I charge mine first think in the morning while I am reading forums/news/shopping/coffee. That way I can keep a eye on them.

my batteries even from storage voltage is less than 25 minutes. I make sure my chosen rc is all set to go.screws bearings ..

I have a question for you guys. I went to charge one of my batteries today and wouldn't charge. It kept telling me "Low Charge." I know it's a low charge. That's why I'm trying to charge it... DUH! I metered the battery at 4.8v. It's a 2s Orion battery.

What charger? In lipo mode with the balance plug plugged in?

 

[AClegg]

it is a kinetic charger and it is in LiPO mode with the balance plug connected. I'm wondering if it is due to a bad balance plug.

 

[tntpoof]

either make one of these. or charge it on nimh mode till it hits 8 volts.

I will give the NiMH thing a try. I'll let you know what happens.
