I'm having problems with my battery. I charge it, but when I put it in my gun it flashes "Lo Batt". Is it possible I permifried my battery?

You may have a bad battery or charger. If you run a search, you can get the values for the output of the Charger and battery.

Use a volt meter to compare.

The battery (at "full" charge) reads 16.2 Volts

The charger reads 26.2 Volts

Could the board not be getting enough power, and so flash "low batt"?

I'm not a IEEE

That doesn't sound right for the battery... I think you may have a dead cell in there. It happens from time to time.

16.2 V is too low to operate the gun. The reason why packs go bad is because people leave them on the charger for TOO long. If you leave it on overnight or even longer, it will most likely kill the battery pack.

Just charge it for about 3 hours and it will be enough.

Your charger sounds like it's putting out enough voltage, but your battery pack has at least one fried cell.
