It really freaked me out.
I had maybe charged and discharged that battery a total of 5 or 6 times. It was barely a month old.
I use one of those smart chargers with the voltage display and the auto shutoff/alarm feature. I had it stored with a "storage" charge, took it out this evening, and charged it to test the reassembled gearbox with the indoor spring. Every thing cycled fine, the trigger didn't stick or anything, I fired maybe 100 rounds in short bursts over 2 minutes before disconnecting the battery.
I left it sitting on my desk, came back an hour later and decided to test it again, and the SECOND i plug in the connector the thing just goes *pouf*.
So 7.4V doesn't cut it with this motor then? I was probably overdrawing it?
Maybe I should just stop using this motor all together since I don't know its power requirements.
Get a new motor and a set of batteries to go with it.
