    Guys need some help I have not had a bad lipo yet but think I may have my first.

    I noticed after flying the other day that one of my packs was showing lower than usual capacity left, I usually fly them to about 30% left.

    I checked the pack and noticed all the cells were the same % except for 1 cell which was around 12% which brought the overall value down.

    I cycled the pack and it seemed to cycle OK with it charging fully to 100%.

    Any advise or comments appreciated.

      Did it take a bit more time to charge. If so it maybe
      Cactus give it another fly but I would reduce your flight time by a 1/4 just in case that cell gives up the ghost while in the air. Then land and wack a cell checker on it and if the voltage/% is down compared to the others I would maybe retire that pack. Or CRASH WILL PAY A VISIT.............

      Also give it a hard time for this test flight. Cycling the pack does not draw the current like flying it heavy load
      Will make or break it.
