Hey guys a have a twin spec charger and have had it for a year and its worked great but.......but now on my channel 2 side every time i go to charge it goes crazy and reads like 13.3v offf a 2cell 5000 pack or it says check battery connection or it will read and start charging then the voltage jumps to like 8.7v and it still charges?????? ive tripled check my settings and have tried numerous batteries on that channel and always the same thing???...my batteries charge fine on channel 1 with no issues.....soooo im hoping this charger didnt already shit the bed as its only a year old. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Sometimes the connection can get loose. Open it up and check or send it in for repair.

So i opened it up and the visible connections are good im not gonna start moving circuit boards or anything ....but for the price you pay for this charger and then for this to happen......i will definately not be purchasing another charger from Team Orion every again!

Default Orion twin spec issue as well

I have a Orion twin spec charger that is new to me, it is used and in great condition. However it charges my lipos fine, but went to set it up to due NiNH batteries and it would not allow me to adjust to a different setting and the read out on the display would read: connect usb adaptor -please wait- then nothing can be done with the charger I have to turn off the power to reset charger. Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks

Its seems our buddies over at Team Orion have no problem selling an inferior charger at a premium price....dont get screwed people and buy your chargers from a different company!!.....now lets just wait for the reps of orion to pose as a regular member and say there charger works fine for years lolol
