Why is my LiPo charger making noises...

Postby Minerva » Tue Jun 07, 2011 3:45 pm

My cheapy firefox lipo charger/balancer is making an odd clicking noise..

Is that it balancing or am I about to have a meltdown?

Prompt responses would be very much welcomed for this Lithium noob :)

Being unfamiliar with the charger, I wouldn't know if it has a built in fan or not. I would assume with the word "cheap" used in the description that it doesn't. If there was a fan, I would guess the clicking is from it. But without one, I'm not sure what to tell you. Lipo chargers shouldn't just click randomly though, as a general rule.
