Default Fantom 5000 LiPo Issue

O.K. not sure if this is a known issue with this pack or not?

But I had this pack for less then a year with lite usage and in fact the past 6 months with little to no usage. I would use it once a month or so and checked it once a month to make sure the voltage was o.k.

Today I take it out and find this.




I decided to put in on my charger with the balancer and it read fine. It took a around 400mah and is showing 8.38v. The difference between cells is around .06v. Not to high I would think? But higher then it had been before.

The pack was never over discharged and always charged using a balancer. It was stored in pyrex container and in a safe temperature. The pack always performed very well with no issues.

I just can't see how this could happen?

Either way I guess I'm out the money I spent on this pack?
