Hello,
I have one of those battery charged remote controlled helicopters, those that are very small, light and cheap.
The way the helicopter charged was by plugging in a cable that came from the remote control.
Once the cable is plugged, I switch the remote on and a red light came up, when a green light was on, it meant that the helicopter was charged.
Now the remote red light comes up, but the helicopter does not charge, in fact after about 5 minutes the red light on the remote goes off
unless I switch the remote on and off again.
I took one of those voltage measuring thing and tested the cable that goes into the helicopter, but I get no reading,
if I test one of the batteries I get a full 1.5V
The remote works with 6 1.5V batteries and are all new.
It all worked fine, than I did not used for a couple of years until yesterday when I decided to use it again,
I changed al the battery, the only think I noticed was that one of the battery had some white funny stuff on it,
I cleaned the connection the best I could.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nic
