RMA Vanishing!! Watch Out!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man!.. what a company....Low milage from HobbyPartz!
On Dec 31 I ordered and later received 2-Blue Lipo 2-Cell 800mAh 7.4v 2S1P 20C RC Batteries to try out this company. The batteries came on time packed well and outwardly appeared ok. Ok so fine until I try to charge one. It would not take a charge due to (after close examining) 1 wire just pushed in and not making good contact. So, truthfully nobody want to return (pay shipping) one battery so I made a dummy move ( a little bit dangerous) and tried to CA it to the other wires everything pushed in tight. Oh well, it didn't work, no big loss. I returned it hoping it might help the company quality control checks. I hadn't heard from them. So right, no big loss and I thought I give them another try because I needed a charger.
I ordered the SkyCharger B6AC. It was ordered and shipped on 11th Jan and received it about 16th Jan. (Fast Shipping and well packed..I must say!)
Here's were the problem comes...If your order doesn't work you may be in for some trouble so be sure you keep good records to recover your hard earned money through other means!
I made a post on RCDiscuss to try to determine what the problem may be and the only resolution is a replacement unit.
Beware of the return policy ... it means nothing! I've been trapped in loop with HobbyPartz since 17 Jan trying to get an RMA.
My Post.............................................. ..
Great Video...... and very helpful!
I just received my SkyCharger B6AC (Almost same as AC6 Thunder) a couple of
days ago. I use 7.4v 1200 Storm 20c 2-cell. I have the charger setup in
charge mode and it indicate a charging countup on the first screen after I
hold down enter. The charge mode is set at 1.2a, 7.4v. However when I
switch to the screen showing each cell voltage, I have:
4.02 0.00 0.00 top line
0.00 0.00 0.00 bottom line
It appears to me that it is charging only the first cell. I tried a 7.4v
800 charging at .8a and still the second cell indicates 0.00.
Anyone with any helpful ideas?

The balance plug is in place in the 2-cell slot and I have tried also the
charge balance mode with difference batteries.
I believe the charger has a problem and I would like to exchange it.

Hi, I need to exchange my charger that I ordered on Order Number: 732089. I find that the charger is not working correctly. I have previously sent HobbyPartz Chat session a request for exchange about Noon your time today. I have not yet received the RMA. Can you contact Sam? May I have an RMA # to make the exchange? Thank you in advance.
Vanishing RMA?
