Heading North

Hi,

RetiredBA/BY:

Still putting my money on a single cell failure and the charger trying to bring the pack upto full voltage, but isn't that what a balancer circuit is supposed to do ?
Considering i am South of UK and you directed your comment to Heading South i will risk to comment something just before i leave:

A balancer is supposed to to this. You are ABSOLUTELY right. unfortunately the circuit being used IS NOT THE BEST for aviation use.

You gave a powerful argument to use another MUCH SAFER approach. Parallel charging of EACH CELL. The "solution" to avoid the condition that may explain very well both cases, i think you touched in your comment.

Synergy between your Valiant (electric) and the dangerous batteries you use today that i prohibited to enter our home in my kids RC models.
