I have a Bantam BC6 charger that is giving me frustration.
I fly my hexa with a pair of Turnigy Nano 3s 5000mah batteries. About every other flight I balance charge them individually, the other times in parallel. The last few times with one of my newer batteries my charger is not evenly balancing them. I will end up with something like 4.17, 4.17, 4.26. I have had some success in evening the voltages by individually charging seperate cells to the proper 4.20V but after a few uses they go out of balance again (different cells will be higher and lower.)
I realize the easy answer I would be that the battery is bad, but I am not so sure. Why would my charger be allowing an individual cell to go past the 4.20 volt threshold? It seems that the charger should be balancing these better...
