pro tek lif battery
 
hello

Hope i can explain this the right way. So i just purchased the protek life reciver battery and also purchased the ko pro 2 switch and put everything together. The problem i am having is that when the battery is fully charged and i go to plug it in on the switch it only shows full green for just couple of minutes and then it drops 2 green bars right away. But when i put a regular nmh battery it shows the full green. I cant tell if i am doing something wrong or is this normal.

Any help would be great

thanks
john

Maybe because a life battery is 6.6 and a nimh is 7.2?

Possible but its starts off with full green lights and within minutes it drops down to 1 green light.

thanks for the reply

Its likely just barely passing the threshold for the full green lights and as soon as you use it slightly the voltage drops below the threshold. I wouldn't worry about it and just use the rest of the lights to determine state of the battery.
