Battery Issue
 

So I went for a drive today and decided to drive to the park which is about 5 city blocks away so by the time I get there the truck hits the lvc (which is set on auto-lipo @ 3.2)(5s 4900mah 20C). I could have sworn I had more battery left from a previous run. So I walk back home and plug in my blinky balancer and I notice that all of the lights aren't turning on(indicating low voltage. I don't have a volt-o-meter( i know I'm stupid) so I plug up my pack and it's reading 17.6 volts. I've been trying to charge the pack slowly but my charger(EOS 5I) keeps ringing saying low voltage check the battery. I'm sort of bewildered at his point... I'm not sure if a cell went dead or not but I'm wondering if I should keep up putting MAH into the pack until it reaches 18.5v or should I dispose of it and buy another pack.

Put it through a "balance only" cycle first. That way you can check all the individual cell voltages, too. 17.6v should be fine for a 5s lipo; I don't know why the charger is yelling at you...

Yeah, 17.6v is 3.52v/cell, which is perfectly fine. You don't by any chance have it set to 6s or something do you?

My charger won't do 6s so that's out of the question. lol

Ok guys after pressing charger and hearing my charger beep like crazy it's actually charging again. Sorry for the false alarm. Anyway this zippy battery is 174mm long but it runs surprisingly cool for just bring 20c. I was thinking about getting a shorter 25 or 30C pack does anyone have a recommendation?

...

Anything else from hobbycity that is shorter- the turnigy lipos come in 20,25 & 30c flavour? If not then the hyperions perhaps?
