    Lithium Battery specifications 16350?

    I have a device that uses a lithium rechargeable battery. After carefully taking it a apart, without magnification, I wrote down information from the battery and then put the device back together. However I believe I must have misread a 6 (six) as a 0 (zero) Wrote down what I could barely read...

    Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer Well SquareTrade to agreed to re-reimburse me $99.99 if I send the non-working charger to them. At first they wanted me to have the MC3000 repaired where I would upload the repaired bill to be reimbursed. However after some research...

    Re: Problems with MC3000 turning on All I have are 12 volt lead acid batteries and a few DC plugs of which one should be the correct size. If it fails to power on while connected to a 12 volt car or RV/Boat battery I was planning on filing a claim. I seem to remember reading about the...

    Re: Problems with MC3000 turning on Hello, I haven't used the MC3000 for a several weeks. I have stored in a safe place and today pulled it out, connected the Skyrc PSU to the MC3000's 12V jack and then plugged in the PSU using it's AC cord. The MC3000 momentarily turns on then turns off...

    As DeJaVu noted the zip tie method doesn't created as quite as tight of spring tension as the original posts, which I was a little concerned about before installing the zip ties. I tried to loop one zip tie through a slot then to the post hole instead of the pcb's edge, but ran into problems...

    I went ahead and fixed it myself using the diy zip tie method. Apparently the other post were also failing as all four post eventually broke off. I'm wondering about the quality of the plastic used for the case? During re-assembly I notice some barely visible minor cracks in the bottom half of...

    I seem to vaguely remember a while back some discussion about spare parts and/or repairs performed on a MC3000? My MC3000 has a broken pin. I'm in the process of determining it's 3 year warranty I purchased for it. However I would like to know my options for repairing it myself. I found...

    I've given up trying to use my PC and Android phone with the MC3000 and will need to rely mainly on it's built-in LCD menus, which aren't too bad to use. I've used much more difficult equipment some of which had no firmware with LCD screen. Configuration was done through pins, dip switches...

    After re-installing Dex Device properties pop up screen chose to use MC3000-set after selecting MC3000 and MC3000-set. I can switch to MC3000 but for now will use the MC3000-set output configuration. All the battery and system temperature units were edited and changed to "F" (Fahrenheit)...

    In relation to temperature output all I'm able to find form the mc3000.xml file in reference to temperature output is <unit>°C</unit> apparently a default output is in centigrade. <name>system_temperature</name> <symbol>Ts</symbol> <unit>°C</unit> <active>true</active> <statistics min="true"...

    This link for the Dex User manual should work. http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/dataexplorer/DataExplorer%20-%20Users%20Guide.pdf The question was asked by another Dex user. I've not had time to thoroughly read through the Dex manual. The user stated the configuration of the...

    SkyRC — IFA 2014 — MC3000 charger-analyzer

    I've just starting to become familiar with Dex. The Device toolbox apparently can only be accessed when there are not any batteries installed in the MC3000. With batteries installed there is an error message that the device (MC3000) is busy and that the tool box dialog is disabled. If there is...

    MC3000 was updated, a while back using a MC3000_Firmware_Update_V1.13.rar file Current versions reported by MC3000 FW version 1.3 HW version >= 1.3 Perhaps there is a slightly different HW version as I seem to remember a post with something about beta version(s)? ______ MC3000 doesn't report...
