Just started doing this, when I plug in a 5s it is showing an extra cell on 8 (at very low voltage) even though nothing is plugged in there (see pictured). Tried a different battery same thing. Plugged in a 2s and it was fine. Has anyone else saw similar behaviour? Could you fix it?

You're supposed to plug in the balance lead as well

#

This is one of the reasons why

#

If it does the same with the balance plug in, retire it

It is?

I'm slightly colorblind, so if I missed it, I'm really fucking sorry

it's very difficult to see

If the balance plug is in, and it still does this... Yeah I'd retire it

#

Maybe try to clean out the contacts, but yeah I think this is just an ISDT charger doing ISDT things

Yes, balance lead is plugged in, tried another 5s battery, same thing. Both batteries work fine in my old skyrc charger.

#

suggestions for a decent replacement? in googling for a solution the isdt chargers seem to be quirky overall. i saw icharger mentioned, the x6 or x8
