Hey all!
Not sure if this is the right place! I have the malectrics spot welder which works fine & runs off of a 3S 5000mah 65-130C Lipo.
Now when i bought this Lipo it wasn't fully charged. If i remember two cells were around 3.4v & one was at 3.8v.
So I balance charged the Lipo to 12.60v(4.2 per cell) with my Imax b6 ac v2
Yet when the Imax was done I tested the voltage of the full pack & each cell with the Imax, a multimeter(UNI-T 203), & a digital battery capacity checker.
Each cell was over 4.2v.
two were around 4.219 & 4.215.v
The highest one was 4.261v
The full pack was 12.695v
Surely this isn't right? Maybe I need a new charger?
I'm charging the Lipo up again. Though it seems to be balancing the cells at the moment.
I have a feeling it won't be properly balancedwhen its done!
It finished & overall battery voltage was 12.717v.
cell01 4.227v cell02 4.223v cell03 4.267v
Either the Imax isn't balancing properly? or its the battery? I'm puzzled!!
