repair a battery with a CELL ERROR message on the SkyRC charger.
I just lately obtained the well-known Cell Error message when attempting to steadiness charging one in all LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries for one in all my quad drones. It meant it was unattainable to cost. I attempted a number of options and examine troubleshooting with out a lot success after watching YouTube movies. However then I lastly managed to unravel it with a easy repair.

I can’t assure that the identical answer will give you the results you want, however it’s price a shot.
I’ve a SkyRC charger (SkyRC e660) however you will get this error message on different chargers as nicely. It’s the battery that causes the issue. A problem when studying the instruction handbook is that it says you will get three Cell Error messages:
- CELL ERROR LOW VOLTAGE – Voltage of 1 cell within the battery pack is just too low.
- CELL ERROR HIGH VOLTAGE – Voltage of 1 cell within the battery pack is just too excessive.
- CELL ERROR VOLTAGE-INVALID – Voltage of 1 cell within the battery pack is invalid.
It doesn’t say what the only error message CELL ERROR truly means… After studying about it on-line and checking the cells I assume was associated to one of many cells had low voltage.
Replace: I’ve additionally realized that CELL ERROR comes up if you attempt to cost a 4s LiPo with one damaged steadiness lead that makes the charger see solely 3s however is aware of you need to cost 4s and for security, it offers you cell error.
Warning
Remember the fact that the instruction handbook says:
BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHARGING YOUR BATTERY, MAKE SURE YOU ARE CHARGING NIMH/NICD BATTERIES. CHARGING LIPO BATTERY UNDER NIMH/ NICD BATTERY PROGRAM WILL CAUSE FIRE.
So watch out and don’t depart the charger when doing the step beneath. Don’t depart the battery to lengthy within the charger when doing the trick beneath.
The short repair
Energy up the charger and plug within the battery’s energy plug. No steadiness twine for the primary steps even if you’re used to balance-charge the LiPo.
1. Change the charger to the NiMH program.
Unplug balancing twine and change to NiMH Cost program.
2. Make sure that you unplug the steadiness twine.
3. Enter a low A worth, round half the battery capability. Simply to make certain. My problem-battery is a 1500mah 4S battery, so I set it to 0,7 A
4. Cost below supervision for 40 seconds. Watch out and don’t let the V worth within the show exceed the utmost V on the battery. Mine is a 14,8V.
5. After 40 seconds, cease the charging.
6. Plug within the steadiness plug
7. Change to LiPo Steadiness Charging program
Change again to unusual LiPo Balancing program with appropriate values
8. Change the values again to regular… for me, it’s 1.5A and 4S battery.
9. Attempt to cost usually… In my case, it labored completely and the CELL ERROR message is gone.
It’s charging usually once more!
My subsequent downside is a LiPo with CONNECTION BREAK error message… I haven’t solved that one but. If I handle to repair it I’ll write about that in one other put up. Depart a message beneath if this put up helped you in any approach or when you managed to unravel the CELL ERROR downside one other approach.
