PL6 + MPA charging current problem
I used the search button but could not find a suitable answer.
I have a PL6 and MPA parallel board. When I tried to parallel charge 2 x 5600mAh 2s lipos the max current it was using was 2A.
1. xh/eh mode selected.
2. DC supply set at 24V 40A
3. LiPo generic High Power preset with a change in current to 1p = 20A 2P = 40A
4. 2P selected when asked for number of packs being charged.
5. charge only mode
6. balance Lead plugged in.
7. I did RTM and feel I have followed the necessary steps.
Please help. I hate being one of those all the gear no idea types with this thing.
Thanks.

Yes, one lead per battery. Thanks, Good call on the voltage, I did not consider checking as they are brand new batteries. Will have a look tonight though. Now where did I put that 9V battery for my multimeter...

I did not try one cell. Will try tonight. Thanks again.

ufoDziner: thanks again for all your suggestions, I found the answer in Helifreaks. One of the users there encountered the same error message - "cells no add up, push to reset". His answer...clean the deans terminals with sandpaper! I am happy to report all lipos are being charged at (to me) an incredible rate of amps!
