The charger I have is a Venom Pro. Bought it at the same time I bought the Losi 8E and have used it exclusively on the two Losi batteries that toasted.
Another guy at the track hooked one of the batteries up to his charger and was able to determine one of the cells was dead. I tried to revive it using super low voltage on the charger but it wouldn't go.
I just bought a second Venom Pro this week too. I thought they were supposed to be good chargers.
So how does a charger toast cells in a LiPo? It always seemed to function just fine and I always balance charged and watched each cells voltage and they were always within .01 to .02V of each other on the four cells when I fist started charging and then exactly the same when fully charged.
I'm still thinking its the ESC based on all I've read and heard about 1/8 ESCs.
Now I'm in a tight spot, do I buy another Lipo and plug it in to an ESC that may toast it? Do I buy another ESC and batteries? Can you test a charger somehow? I'm kind of stuck.
