Problem with Astroflight 109+ V-Balance
 
Hallo my friends, i have a problem with my Astroflight 109 charger and New V-Balance system of Flightpower, i try to charge my EVO20 4900 4S1P, but after 30-40 seconds of charging the voltage in the display of Astroflight increase over 30 volts and the charger dsconnect the charging and Beep beep "error overvoltage".
Charging my pack without V-balance is ok.
The problem i suppose is, astroflight and the metod of charging (no CC/CV)???
Thanks to all

Yes, the Astroflight 109 isn't a CC/CV charger...

what does the 109 do then?

I thought that's exactly what it is... CC/CV.

Looks like something is wrong with the v-balance, if it charges fine without it. But I don't know anthing about this balancer.

Here is what i know about this type of balancers;

if they measure an overvoltage on 1 cell, they stop charging. it brakes the contact between the battery/charger. With my graupner balancer, i need to push a button to make the connection active.

The astroflight works fine without V-balance, but if i try to charge my battery with this, the charger respond to me with a "over voltage error" and the astroflight stop the charge.
Renè the EVO 20 4900 4S is FANTASTIC more punch respect a 3700

Good!! nice to hear.. !

if the battery gets loose from the charger, the voltage goes up.. with my graupner charger, it peaks to 55V.

Nope...Its not. Most LiPo chargers are though...Read this....

Yeah, but what type of charger is it then? i only know 1 way to charge lipo cells..

virusss 01.13.2007 03:36 PM

mmm, it is possible to use V-balance after charge?

squeeforever 01.13.2007 03:55 PM

Serum, to be honest, I have no clue...I use to know, but my memory isn't so good...

I would assume, but I'm not to sure....

That's not a good sign on your age Squee!

I guess my old age is getting to me. :005:
