R/C plane rechargeable lithium

[[email protected]]

I got the Microflyer R/C plane for chrismas. It has a 150 ma
rechargeable lithum battery. I'ts gone through a few cycles but the
charge light isn't lighting anymore. I can't think of any way I might
have abused the battery, and I think the charger has an automatic shut
off once th battery is chargged. The batteries in the controler/charger
are good. Does any body have any ideas?

From looking at the manual I would suggest:

1) Read the manual
2) Make sure all six batteries are in the correct polarity
3) Make sure the toggle switch is in the center position

Any other ideas?

Well.... er ummm, why not buy some of that old fashioned stuff called
fuel? Stop mucking about Mate and re join the Luddites ;-) Electricity
is invisable and therefor like a bloody ghost - catch you out when you
least expect it and bloody unreliable if you ask me.....

One of them might be open or shorted. Measured voltage at
each cell separately. If normal (between 3.2 and 4.2V)
connect to the load (about 1 hr discharge rate or higher) and measure
voltage again. It should not drop more than by 200 mV. If it does for
some cell, that cell is likely
dead.
