Bronson Sherrill Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 What is the easiest way to test a battery to find out if it has bad cells or not. I just ordered 2 D3100 and 1 D6500 brand new. I hooked 1 of the D3100 to my smart charger and it charged on 2amps for 18 hours countiosly and it faulted out and said I might have a bad cell on a Brand new battery Quote
Soccerballzs Posted October 28, 2013 Report Posted October 28, 2013 X's Power need 10 amps to charge or they will vent. You might have ruined the battery. Call XS Power and they can help you. 2 amps may have ruined your warranty also. What charger are you using?

I'm just curious, but how will charging with a lower amperage cause the battery to 'vent' or it to be ruined? Quote Build in progress

How can charging at a lower amperage void warranty...that just dont sound right. Quote
Bronson Sherrill Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Posted October 28, 2013 I talked to someone at XS and they said it probably faulted out because it was taking so long to charge it at 2amps they said try it at 10-15amps. Never said anything about it voiding warranty. If it happens to be a defective bat the people I bought it from said they will replace it. And XS said the batteries I got from the people on Ebay are newer stock. Quote
