Isis welcome to the forums. Would you be kind enough to change your user name to your real first name and last name, please? The reasons for this (and how to do it) are explained here: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/real-names.497/. Charge time with the charger, depending on starting point of what is in the battery, can be more than an hour. To check the battery see if you can get a 'LiPo Checker'. You might find them at an RC hobby shop or in your part of the world they are available at HobbyKing. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__41637__H_King_Cellmeter_7_Lipo_Life_Li_ion_Nimh_Nicd_Digital_Battery_Checker_With_Balance_Function.html
Thanks Gary,i done that . I live in Manila ,i never heard of a lipo checker ,i been charging the for 6 hours and still only 1 led ? Is there a large alternative for a power source by battery . You see is in a rig what moves for hours and i keep loosing the very fast ? Any idea where I can find the Tuning specs for canon 5 d ? I hope you have idea on this Thanks Tony
Tony can you post a cell phone video of your charger while it is charging? Close so we can see the face of the charger and then back out a little so that we can see the battery connections, both the power and the white balance wires (those are the wires that go to the small white molex connector).
Thanks,here is small clip,but some batteries do charge but i never had one showing 3 leds i seem to have problem uploading the file ,what file type can I upload here ?
Tony you have not connected the white molex balance lead to the charger. Take a look in the quick start guide or the regular manual. It needs to be plugged in so that the battery can correctly charge.
My god I even watched the the tutorial on vimeo ,how did I miss that .. So I got one working i believe is flashing green but the other all led are red ?
