Also give the battery a full charge and then read the battery voltage. Install the battery and boot it up and wait for it to die. Once it goes dead pull off the battery and take a reading on its voltage right then. You seem to have determined the charger isnt the problem. It doesnt sound like the battery is it either. I would just do a before and after test on the battery voltage and if it is still where it should be you know you have a board problem.

Why doesnt anything work for me. -
I didi the meter test last night and many other times. It read 18v and then i would plug it up and when it said low battery i would take it off and test it and it would be at 10v. This was all in about 60 secs off the charger. I need to clean the inside of the threads now. I sanded a lil off the top of the mounting hole underneath the board last night. So i will try the thread thing this time. If it doesnt work i will just let AGD handle it. Thanks againComment

It really sounds like you got a short in the wiring or in the board itself since the battery drains that fast. The battery pack must get very hot when discharged that quickly. As for the Pred board its a lonshot on when they will be available and if their will be any left for sale. The DIY pred II board may be a better alternative, although rare to find also.....Comment

Best bet to send it to Tuna and have him take a gander at it..Comment

I think its the Positive terminal. The metal ring is oblong, so i put some solder on it to feel in the extra space and it seems to be working now. I only tryed it with a battery that had just turned green. It held alot longer and I was able to shoot it for about 2 minutes non stop. That is with short pauses to see if the Low battery or the period would come up. So now I am going to let a battery fully charge this time to see what hapens. I hope this works. Well Guys thanks very much for all your help.
