I just recieved this charger today and I am trying to charge my Rhino 2150 Mah LiPo batteries. I get a message "Connection Break". I have tried plugging the batteries in before and after turning the charger on and it makes no differnce. How do I get rid of the message?

Hi all!

Hi I'm trying to charge NiMH Batt, but I cant change the Charge to Auto? I cant change from Manual!
Anyone has the same problem?
  Reply:  warwolf (1 points);
Try holding down the two center buttons when you turn the charger on that works with some of there other chargers.
  Reply:  waynemia (116 points);
When the current value is flashing, press the two arrow buttons and hold them. It will switch from manual to auto and vice versa.

A buddy of mine told me that this charger will not charge thunderpower packs. It will only charge knock off packs. Is this true, or is he not using it right?
  Reply:  Beaufighter (707 points);
I think he's not using it right! It will charge any pack, but beware that the balancer may not be direct fit for all manufacturers without adapter (different pinout of balancer plug)!!!
Bart (0 points)
Can he also load a 2S 500mAh lipo pack?, because it say's 1-5A charge, can"t it charge below 1A?
  Reply:  jezza (145 points);
Yes it will supply below 1A, all the way down to .1A

I make up my own packs. Does Hobbycity sell the plugs with pigtails that fit the GT-A6 for 2, 3 and 4-cell packs? What are their part numbers?

I have found that the time it takes to charge 2 x 3S is twice as long as to charge 1x 3S and I have doubled to amp's to suite, any comments please

OMT - SW only works when you configure the COM port < COM9

HobbyKing - The next time you chat with the folks at GT-Power, tell them that they should send me a free charger for supporting their products ain a half dozen threads where many users could not get it to work.

Charger SW Issue Resolved
In an earlier post, someone mentioned that they had to run the program in Windows 98 compatibility mode but this did not help.

However, based on the fact that I knew the charger was OK (communicated with LogView) and other people were able to get it to work, I figured I would take another shot at it and I got it to work.

Step by step running Vista Home Premium:

1. Make sure to set charger to USB not temperature mode
2. Install USB driver and confirm that when charger is plugged in that the device shows up in the device manager as a serial port.
3. Right click on shortcut to run Charger program and select properties
4. Enable Windows XP compatibility mode (not Windows 98) from compatibility tab
5. Start charger on charge or discharge cycle
Note: Charger only sends out data when the charger is active
6. Launch the Charger program

Should work.

(I will have to go back and see why I could not get it to run earlier on either my Windows 2000 notebook or my XP desktop)

I would encourage you to remove the SW from the de******ion because it does not work. (Not a sngle person has reported that it works and numerous people have reported it as defective.)

How do I contact the manufacturer to get updated SW if no support is available here?
  Reply:  Jason5001 (994 points);
Take all the cables, lay them flat on the table and pause for a moment to think about what you're looking at.
The cables are for discharge, not input.
Don't try to force any of the cables into the input socket.
  Reply:  Jason5001 (994 points);
Yes, I have not been able to get the software to work either. The factory has said that it is free software and might not work on some PC's. haha
