Default It may be the charger settings

Hello,

I think the main issue may be with your charger... That charger I think comes with a default of 120 Min. as stated before and 5000 Mah cutoff. Often it can sit at a low amp rate and the voltage does not change much but it can sill put a few hundred Mah into the pack like that as it keeps the cells balanced as well. If it is not the charger, then I am very sorry, just trying to help out.

Good Luck.

I think it's sad you had to bring this to RCtech and drag a good company through the mud.....if I was dealing with you I wouldn't email you back either, sounds like nothing will make you happy. You're that guy who buys a motor...over gears it, over heats it and calls it junk and when it doesn't work properly.....you whine and request a refund.

this may be the issue..I know my charger has a 5k mah limit and I have a couple of 6k batts. so I have to restart them after they take 5k mah put back in..check to see if that is in fact your issues guys if you haven't already.

Thumbs up ProMatch Good to me...

When they have the Batt. in stock shipped fast . The 6200 does not charge up to its 6200 but gives good performance even though its puffy. My shorty 4000 lipo is flawless. I give them 2 thimbs up but do think a phone # is in order. at least to leave a mesage! When there was a extra Batt. lead left out of my order they shipped it right out no questions asked!

So, what you're saying is: 1) there was a problem with the packs, which they knew, and promised to fix; 2) they told you it would be about 6 weeks before the replacements came in, which it was, and; 3) Jeff DID respond to your emails, just not as quickly as you'd like, because they are no doubt extremely busy, since it sounds like there were some issues with the 6200 packs. Trying to figure out where the horrible customer service is so far. Let us know how it works out.

As an aside, Promatch and any other battery company is at the mercy of the battery manufacturers. Anybody remember the IBC 4200's? Great batteries initially, but the high self discharge rate crapped them out quickly.

I wouldnt go that far. Some of those 6200 batteries where not what they should have been. But to put this out in public on an rc forum before there is absolute finality in this situation, was probably not the best way to handle it. Anyways, like i said, jeff is a good guy, and he will take care of you

Haha he spoke the truth for Maxamps.

They were 'the way to go' until everybody noticed their cells had less lifespan than a butterfly and that they were super prone to puff and blow.

Plus the so called 'real 160C' were so made up that even Turnigy Nanotech 50C batteries blew them to the dust at 1/6 the cost per mAh.


Who races Maxamps now? No one
