Default battery heatsink - holding probe

i use a spintec discharger to discharge and then the novak tray !

thanks.
There was a good tip on this board (thanks to Ryan Lee) for holding the temp probe when using the battery heatsink:



There's also some information on the alloy heatsink and optional fans that were mentioned in a previous post here:

alloy heatsink and fan link

When the temp of cells was 40c (but the setting was 50c) did the charger return the message 'temp cut' when charging stopped? Maybe the cells peak cut or capacity cut to stop charging instead.

If they are not too warm, then you could try reducing the delta peak.

hope this helps.
