After I recharge the packs, in number one pack entered 1000mAh and in number two 430mAh. This is the 3rd recharge. First two, were about the same difference: about 2.6 times more mAh for pack one.

In the manual it is writen that after a number of charges, a small difference is ok. But here after each recharge pack one is way to much discharged than two.

Why?
Is there a problem with my powerbox?

Thanks,
Hi Lucian... One of the regulators seem to be off & is drawing more current from one side of the system. The regulators need to be synchronized and can only be done at the factory in Germany.

It will still work, however, you will see more of a "draw-down" on one side until it is fixed. What I did was to switch my battery leads after 4 flights for a while...I have sent in my Champion for fixing..
