Battey for 500x
I am using glazier 30c 3000mah. They are always out of balance.
High cell 4.3 low cell 3.9 others 4.1 to 4.2. One is lightly puffed. They do ok with around 4 minutes, light 3d. I have 3 of them and they are all about the same. What are some of u using? Jim Last edited by jmurray74; 03-18-2016 at 06:07 AM.. Reason: add comment |

What charger are you using? I don't recommend the stock charger and could be the source of your problem. I'm running glacier 3000s and they balance perfect after 2 years of use. |

How are you connecting? Balance board or direct? How are you connecting the balance cable? Are you charging in balance mode? I believe TP has a different balance connector so I assume you're not connecting the balance cable directly to the charger. |

Using a balance cable and cord to the battery.

I didn't realize my charger would show the voltage(I am still learning).
The charger shows the batteries in balance, but my voltage checker always shows cell 4 high. Tried a friends checker and his shows the batteries in balance, so it looks like my checker will not check a 6s correctly. It shows all my 3s as in balance. I am going to check the 6s today with a multi meter, to see what is correct Jim |

I use the Glacier 3000mAh 30C in my 500X. I also use Glacier 3 cell in my 450. I don't do 3D, but I do like to fly fast and hard.
They come down pretty warm and usually swelled up a bit. When they cool, I can tell it's just the wrap stretched out that makes them feel puffed. They all still balance very well, if I balance charge. If I use the normal or fast charge they'll be within 0.020 to 0.040V. |

Actually I retired one before, making 5 of them total. It had a hole poked in it, so I retired it, but still was reading great electrically. Just didn't want to push it with a $500 Heli. |
