Awhile back..Probably in november my 400ex stopped charging the battery..at first we thought it was just a bad battery..so for X-mas i got a new battery and it just killed this one..What all could be causing my quad to not charge the battery?

Thanks,
Tom

Have you PC'd your frame? Maybe you have to ground down the PC to get a good enough ground. Also, did your properly charge the battery, like all the steps for a new battery?

no the frame has never been PC'ed and I have had to change many batteries..I did everthing correct..Ive changed so many just cause I have really bad luck with them..Run sticks threw them, crack em..
