Quark Question

[BrianG]

You don't seem to have much luck with electronics do you? First the Hyperion charger, now your Quark. Maybe you should try Nitro? J/K ;)

Well, it was worth a try. It's probably some simple thing, but like all simple problems; they are only simple when you know the answer! I would take jhautz advice and give Quark a call and explain the situation. WHile you're at it, see if there is some type of "master clear" function to return all settings back to factory.

I can give that a try. Are they 24 hour? Or weekends? I'll call when i can. I just started school! Electronics, yeah. Not sure about the Quark i have though, it ran great on my 16 cells except the heat issues! The hyperion works, if the 5s is half charged already, and i can set it to 4 amps. It charged my girls 4s at 7 amps though. So i kept it. My 989 works like a champ! charges my 5s in 1hr and 32min!

That's great Jhautz!

good to hear.

it makes sense, the torque setting.

[neweuser]

That's great news! Jhautz, if i may sir, what setting would you suggest for 5s Lipo? I currently have it on soft for the torque, and normal 3.0 cut off for lipo?

I'd call Quark we can only speculate, they know the unit inside and out and may have run into your problem during R&D.

But given the number of performance shortfalls they seem to be showing, I'm wondering just how extensive the R&D was...

I cant say that this is the ''best'' setting, but I run 5s with no issues on 2 different Quarks with the settings:
Torque=Normal 1 and
Battery type=Lipoly Normal.

I have never changed the cut off voltage from the factory setting. Not sure what the cut off is, but I have had not issues at all.

[neweuser]

I see. Thanks!

I believe factory is 2.7. I have mine set to soft, and normal lipo(after setting the cut off on 3.0)
