i know nothing about your particular battery/ charger but have flown electric helis for awhile now. a couple things to check should give you a good understanding of whats going on.
- use a voltmeter to check the individual cell voltage. be carful not to short them out (one lead on top of plug ,one in through the front. dont worry about which ones your cheching just make sure you get 3 seperate sets of readings (if its a 3 cell) they will all probably be around 3.3-4v. if your gettin 7 or 12v your measuring more than one cell. if your getting less than 3v or so the battery has been over discharged. all the cells should be the same voltage but if theyre way out of wack (more than .2v) then your out of balance. come back with your results
