Hello All,
Does anyone have any experience with the E-flite Apex Peak Charger? I have one to charge the 6 cell 320mah and 270 mah packs I use with my wattage minimax, and have only used the 400mah charge rate, as its my understanding slower charging is better.
Initially, the charger seemed to work fine, and I followed directions (don't remember if they came with the plane or with the charger) on charging and discharging the battery pack. Now, after maybe 5 enjoyable flights, the charger says the battery is peaked after a very short period of charging, and this is after I've discharged the battery to the point at which the ESC diverts all power to the receiver/servos.
Is something wrong with the charger? Am I doing something wrong? Am new to electrics, and any help would be appreciated. When I was just flying glow, never had battery problems with my reciever and transmitter batteries using the supplied dual chargers, but of course these take a lot longer to charge, don't peak detect, etc.
Thanks,
Zman
