try to measure the voltage as you try to charge a battery. See if it drops below 11v.

Interesting. I tried with the 1010C, checked the low voltage cutoff (was set to 11.00V) and then tried charging again. The 14.08V didn't change one little bit and I got the same error:

VoltageError or WrongPolarity

I really wish I had another power supply to test with. When I was in Radio Shack today, they had a 19A PS for $84 or $89 - thought of grabbing it and decided not to.

I am trying to charge a simple little Lipo. Let me go grab a NiMh and try with that.

Very interesting. The NiMh works. I wonder if my Lipo is bad. I doubt it is the balancer because I have two different ones (one for the 610C and the 210C for the 1010C). Let me go get a few more Lipos and test them out....

Well looks like it isn't the charger nor the balancer nor the power supply. Instead it appears to be the lipo. Is this lipo done or is there something I can do to rejuvenate it?

Thanks a lot.


b4maz - Special thanks to you. You helped me work through this issue.
