My boys have two Ruckus trucks that they love but I think I'm doing something wrong with the lipo batteries. I don't seem to be able to recharge some of them. What's the usual lifespan? Recently I bought 2 LiPo 2s 7.4V 5000mAh batteries. Used them straight out of the box and they worked fine. Connected them to a Prophet Sport Mini 50W AC balance charger (sent by horizon hobby to replace the stock chargers when I contacted them about the same problem with previous batteries), set at LiPo, 1A or 2A, and attempted to charge but get all 4 red lights flashing about once per second suggesting a 'connection break, incorrect connection, or incorrect battery mode selected' as described in the battery owner manual. Other similar batteries will charge as normal with these settings. I'm up to 6 non rechargeable and 4 chargeable batteries. The batteries I mention above have about 4V.
Is the voltage too low to accept a charge? Am I not using the charger correctly?
thanks
