Quick question, my 406 currently stopped charging after I had to install a new ribbon. It reads voltage but when attempt to charge nothing happens which of course throws a error.

Anyone have a similar problem? Any fixes?
I've got the same problem and would like to find a fix. Additionally, the second channel reads a super high temp (200*+) immediately when I plug in the resistor bank.

I had to get a new resistor bank, no further problems so far.

Had the same issue. Turns out one of the resistors went bad. Replaced them and good to go.

Asked in the 308 duo thread but not sure if traffic on that thread is low or whatever, so I guess Ill ask again here since function wise its the same

Anyone know if icharger has a function where it maintains the charge of the battery after its done charging? ISDT chargers has a function where after its finished charging it will keep the voltage of the batteries at 4.2v/cell until you pull it off. Pretty useful to me when Im at the race and want to have the most power available as possible. I was able to find the "keep" function inside the menus where it will keep the charge of the battery for 5 mins, but after that it stops.

I have a 4010 and the 2nd channel will read the cells but will not charge. I keep getting error 1305. Do you guys know where I can send my 4010 to get it repaired?

Can you charge 1s lipo off main leads? I keep getting connection error. How would you charge a 1s transmitter pack? Thanks

anyone with answers to this question? is there a "trickle charge" function after the charger finishes charging the battery to keep the voltage up?
