Checked out the packs. Same thing.. Blinky says they are each 3S Packs, as it should say. Using my TP Balancing Adapter and the shared 2S/3S input, my charger reads them as 2S packs, then errors out. If I bypass the built in balancer and use the Blinky, the charger reads them as 3S packs.
I'll look again, but I wonder if there is a setting in the charger itself that I have to change despite the preset showing a 3S pack? Maybe a setting in the balancing section because the tap is using a 2S/3S shared input? Maybe the charger is defaulting to a 2S balancer?
EDIT: I just checked, and no matter what I do, I can't get the balancing section of the charger to see it as a 3S pack. It insists it's a 2S pack and only shows two cells. Even more strange, is that I just charged and balanced these packs w/ the Blinky, yet the charger is showing one of the two cells as being @3.98V and the other at 4.2. Even if the charger has it wrong, it's seeing one of the cells that I just balanced as being way off.
I wish I knew what to do. These are expensive packs. I've had them a while, but I know they have some life left in them. I just don't know how to "test" them.
