Question Faulty Trakpower? - 06.12.2009, 10:54 PM

Hey everyone, (if this is in the wrong thread please move it) I bought my trakpower not to long ago to finish my 2wd buggy, chraged it up for the first time before running it was fine,

after driving it down I wasnt too sure that my lvc kicked in. Im using a 2007spec Lrp sphere esc. Now when i read the mode for lipo programming it said that profile one was for nimh and lipos?

so i left it at that,

After i ran i down i unpluged it when i thought the lvc kicked in, so when i went to go and charge it for the second time, something was oddly strange.

When i started to charge it, with my duratrax ice(and Maxamps method balancer) Using the proper harness, the Voltage read at 6.4V OK sounds fine but as it charged the voltage was increasing fairly quickly, before it hit 3.9AMP i was at 8.4V already at CC-CV mode(all happened in about 20 seconds) So it started to maintain the 8.4V and the amperage never reached 4.9Amps(1c). Now im stumbled becuase it starts to deacrese in amperage.

I gave it to around half to 75% charge (wich took a while) and drove it again. This time the lvc kicked in but, when i pluged it in it was at 5.998V! not good....
(or might be fine)?
Now im confused and a little peeved... ANY ANY information, or diagnoses of what the problem may be..
