Here is the deal. My buddy on his rustler ran his Polyquest pack. He then ran my PQ pack, 2s 30c 5000mah. It is fairly new maybe 15 cycles. Shortly into the run it acted as the LVC kicked in but did not shut the truck down completely. It just ran low on power. First thing I thought was it was his VXL ESC. My pack was fully charged. Got it home put it on the Hyperion and the voltage was about 4.15 and the cells were in perfect balance. Topped it off which took about 20 minutes which I thought was odd. Tried running it again in his truck and same thing. Red light on his VXL ESC was blinking red. Unfortunatley I was unable to try it back in my truck due to breaking a rear bearing carrier. What does this sound like? I figured if it was a bad cell it the pack would be way out of balance or not take a charge. Connections on the battery leads are all good. Ideas?
