If the capacitors are at 0 volts, and you plug in a 5s pack, YOU WILL see a decent spark. That's normal, but usually the second time you try to plug it in there is no spark. Maybe there is just low enough resistance so that the capacitor drains rather quickly on its own and will always cause a spark every time you plug a pack in. Or maybe castle just decided to use mega capacitors on the V3s. Lol
