Symptoms
- The rate drops after a few chargers
- The battery holds much less than the purchase
- The battery is warm or even hot after the part
Causes
Most common to rare.
- Aging battery: internal resistance increasedCommon
- Capacity too low for replica consumptionCommon
- LiPo (definition) stored full or empty for weeksPossible
- Gearbox force: powerful spring (definition), friction, motor height (definition)Possible
Verifications
In the order: we start with what does not require anything to disassemble. Check as you go, the list is kept in this browser.
The range calculator gives an order of magnitude according to capacity, rate and spring. If he already announces few shots, it's not a breakdown: you need a bigger battery.
Without toolsMany chargers display it by element. It increases with age: a much more resistant element than others indicates a battery to replace.
Simple toolsTools: Balancer chargerBetween two parts, a LiPo keeps about 3.8 V per element (storage function of the charger). Left full or empty, it loses capacity every time.
Simple toolsTools: Balancer chargerAn engine that grunts, heats or a rate that collapses in gusts show a gearbox too hard for the battery: see the plugs on the rate and overheating.
