Wiring issue

Postby Limpy » Mon Oct 04, 2010 4:53 pm

So very recently I, and might I add very stupidly, over discharged a 7.4v Fire Fox lipo in my SCAR, and when I went to chrono it at IB2010 the gun did not do anything when I plugged in the battery and pulled the trigger. My first thought would be that the battery was dead, except usually the gearbox will make some noise because there's always a little bit of juice left in the battery; in the case of my SCAR it was as if no power was transferring from the battery to the gun.

The only thing I can think of that is wrong is that the deans connector is messed up or I have a crimped wire due to little room between the battery wires and the wires from the gun itself. What do you think is up?

Note: I've also sent an email to AONW, since I'd rather not deal with this problem myself lest I damage something internally. But I'd still like your guys' opinion.

Phew there your lucky that thing didn't blow up and ruin your gun! Those lipos don't like goin' down below that certain point. But you might have just killed the lipo? That can happen.. Or a fuse gone out because the lipo tried to exert too much power in its dying rage? haha

There's no fuse, that's been bypassed, I can't think of anything else that could be wrong except for what I said above.

Wait, wait! you bypassed your fuse? did you replace it with some sort of a MOSFET or other like item? Cause if not you very well could have killed your poor motor.. I know I did that once cause my fuse blew in the middle of a game and I just pulled it out and went without the motor burnt up haha oh well..

LiPo batteries aren't going to explode due to over discharge.

My suggestion is to try a different battery.
If the problem persists. Take it apart and try to find the problem.
