Problem with Astroflight 109+ V-Balance - 01.13.2007, 09:22 AM

Hallo my friends, i have a problem with my Astroflight 109 charger and New V-Balance system of Flightpower, i try to charge my EVO20 4900 4S1P, but after 30-40 seconds of charging the voltage in the display of Astroflight increase over 30 volts and the charger dsconnect the charging and Beep beep "error overvoltage".
Charging my pack without V-balance is ok.
The problem i suppose is, astroflight and the metod of charging (no CC/CV)???
Thanks to all

I thought that's exactly what it is... CC/CV.

Looks like something is wrong with the v-balance, if it charges fine without it. But I don't know anthing about this balancer.

Here is what i know about this type of balancers;

if they measure an overvoltage on 1 cell, they stop charging. it brakes the contact between the battery/charger. With my graupner balancer, i need to push a button to make the connection active.

The astroflight works fine without V-balance, but if i try to charge my battery with this, the charger respond to me with a "over voltage error" and the astroflight stop the charge.
Renè the EVO 20 4900 4S is FANTASTIC more punch respect a 3700

Good!! nice to hear.. !

if the battery gets loose from the charger, the voltage goes up.. with my graupner charger, it peaks to 55V.
