BC6 and TrakPower Lip problem

[TonyM]

Help please - I just bought a BC6 and 4900 Trakpower Lipo's. Unfortunately the BC6 to Trakpower balancing cable is out of stock so I can't balance at the moment.

So I decided to charge without balancing. I set the BC6 to Lip correctly 2s 7.4V etc but when I press START to charge I get an error message (Battery Vol Err Cell Connect) which says I have bad leads. I tried charging a NimH pack and this was fine, so the leads must be OK. I then charged the Lipo with my other Prolux charger (on Lipo of course) and this charged the battery without any problem.

So, battery OK, BC6 charging leads OK - anyone had a similar problem? Must I have the balancing cable for the BC6 to charge Lipo's?

Cheers Tony
