Typhoon H battery problem? Solved!

Wingtip59 · Apr 22, 2022

I just recieved my 7000mah typhoon battery i ordered last week when they came in stock and first tried to charge it on the oem charger and it gave an error light. I then moved it over to my sky charger to charge it with the yuneec custom battery harness for this battery and the charger says balance issue can not charge. Is anyone else having issue with this new batteries or is there something im missing ?

I use this connector from yuneec to charge 4 other batteries just fine. They will charge but are just old and puffy and dont hold a charge like they used to thus the reason for buying a new battery.

What are your individual cell voltages? Your Sky Charger should be able to give you that I believe.

Problem solved, IM AN IDIOT.... i'll just chock that up to being old.... I had the balance plug in the charger but didnt notice it wasnt the one from the battery harness, it was a seperate cable for another battery....

Started doing that when I was about 12. Still works. And gets better every year.

1st off...
I don't understand your reasoning for creating a New Thread about an issue with a Product you purchased from Yuneec Skins without contacting me first, and giving me the opportunity to resolve this in a more private setting, where we can determine if in fact it's your new Battery at fault.
2nd
Are you 100% certain that your OEM Charging Module is not Defective? which is fairly common, (I have sold 100's of OEM Charging Modules to my Customers to replace their Defective OEM Module).
3rd
Are you 100% certain the Cheap Chinese Charger your using as an alternative to the OEM Charger works?
(After looking at the manufacturers spec's, it's not a Charger I would choose for charging Typhoon H Batteries.
4th
Have you done a Continuity Test on the Balance Lead of the Battery Charging Cable Adaptor that your using?
5th
Have you Tested the Individual Cell Voltages on the New Battery?
6th
If I hadn't been for notification from this fine Forum about this nifty thread, I may have never had the pleasure of seeing it... I haven't received any complaints regarding this New Batch of Batteries.
7th
I have no Clue who you are, or if you purchased the Battery in Question from Yuneec Skins, or if your a Yuneec Customer who think's Yuneec Skins is affiliated with Yuneec, and takes it out on me, because their unable to reach Yuneec Customer Support.
I go above and beyond to make sure my Customers get the Yuneec Parts they need Ready for Service, if you purchased this Battery from Yuneec Skins, please email me at; [email protected] and I'll work with you to solve this issue...

I wasnt taking anything out on you or anyone at all. I did purchase the battery from yuneec skins and did reach out to them/you by phone today and left a message and asked if they had experienced any issues with the new battery and left my number so they could call back and we could discuss it. I never received a call back.

I posted to these forums as this was the most likely place to ask other typhoon users if they had any issues... In that post i did ask if it was an issue with the battery or something i did wrong. I quickly updated my thread when i realized my own user error and that there is nothing wrong with the battery, as far as charging is concerned... i did notice after charging when i removed the charging cable the battery case is already starting to seperate and will need to be touched up with some glue. No biggie, im glad to have a source of the battery. No disrespect was ever intended and not sure why the rant.

1 I said in the batteries back in stock thread, that i didnt see that thread before i had already posted a new thread on the issue i thought i had.
2. I already stated in both threads that It was my fault and the issue was resolved. I also stated that i have charged several other typhoon h batteries with your connector just fine and is still fine. The only real issue i had was the oem charger still not working properly which has nothing to do with your cable i mentioned
3 the sky charger has worked in conjunction with your cable just fine as it always has and is a great alternative to the oem charger.
4 again there is nothing wrong, it was an error on my part as mentioned in both threads

I think you read everything out of context and ignored where i said i was an idiot and that it was my own fault. I will be flying the new battery tomorrow and am i am sure it will be fine... i have waited almost a year for these to come back in stock since our phone conversation in June of 2021... I will be buying more of them

Apologies for any misunderstandings
