    Very Nice Ben. Congratulations on the first flight. Fortunately, EarthX will likely be as good at taking care of your issue as your prop company.

    Well done! I'm sure you'll get it sorted out quickly.

    Congrats Ben on your first flight!👍👍😀


    Get one of EarthX’s Optimate battery chargers. Just bought their fancy one and it is all automatic in the way it handles the EarthX batteries. It auto tests every time you hook up the charger and goes into the appropriate mode depending on the batteries condition and requirements. They will go into Save mode if the battery gets discharged too low. It knows to balance the cells as needed. Mine has a “tune” button I push for continuous constant power when I’m running my avionics and setting parameters in the glass panel. https://earthxbatteries.com/shop/opt...attery-charger
    When I was at Kitfox Aircraft last time I saw these in use on their aircraft.

    Thanks DesertFox4, I’m pretty sure I have the same optimate charger your speaking of but I’ve also had the fault light come on when being charged on this so I recon it’s a faulty battery...
