Reading IR with iCharger X8
 

I have been using an iCharger X8 for the last few months of 12th scale GT12, and I run mostly 1S battery packs in this hobby. I have a couple of 2S for a buggy I'm working on for summer, and I just figured out how to check actual IR on the battery, clicking the lever wheel up once the battery is first connected. It works perfectly on the 2S pack, but not at all on the 1S packs, instead putting the LR number where the IR reading is on the 2S packs. I *just* learned what the LR number was (I know, I know) and that it wasn't internal resistance. The instructions for that charger can be great and terrible at the same time, but mostly terrible.

How do I access the IR on a X6 of X8 for a 1-cell battery pack?



TIA

If it shows a reading for "Sr", that would be the internal resistance for a 1S cell.

Whelp, I thought it was Ir, but now I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to look when I get home. I also don't want to believe my batteries are as bad as they seem to be showing.

You need a 1S balance charge cable (or like I use the 1S/2S switch to connect to the balance plug)
