Hi guys
I bought 4 lipo batteries from Hobbyking and I have a problem charging one of them new from the box. Red lights are flashing in the charger indicating a problem.....
From the factory the "faulty" battery has some charge when I benchtop my boat.
I am using a simple budget charger that just tells me when the batteries are charged with a green light (red if they are charging) If there is a problem with the battery the red light flashes and is happening now.
My battery:

My charger

Any opinions about what the problem is? Could it be the wire of the charge lead are not soldered properly to the battery? Could it be a battery is undercharged?....

I might send back the battery to HK but the shipping is like $13 and the battery cost about $23. I'd rather fix/repair the battery if it is feasible.
Thanks a lot.
