    battery problems for sierra

    Hello,

    I have some sierra DPVsbut i have some problems with the batteries when i recharging them. One of them is doing well but the other one tells me all the time the battery is too hot and its charging cuz its not working when i connect it. Does someone have experienced the same problem and what should i do?

    Hi Sander

    I would guess you might have an issue with the thermistor that measures the temperature in the pack. Its connected to the white wire, on the charger leads.

    You can test the thermistor by measuring the resistance between the white and black wires, it should be around 10 k ohms.

    If this doesn't work, please try contacting us at Dive Xtras (info@dive-xtras.com) and we can try other things
