The rebel reds are the only led I could think of that might run ok on 1 cell due to the low current and voltage requirements.

I have had my saber built for about a week know all my wiring is correct and it was working great,I was swinging it around today and all of a sudden it shuts off, didn't reboot, nothing, I put the kill plug back in and pulled it nothing then I plugged in my smart charger it booted up and will turn on and that is the only way I can get it to work, can someone please tell me what's going on please
It sounds like your battery pack is dead. Did you say you can power on the saber when it is plugged into the charger? If that's the case, you have the recharge port wired incorrectly.

It sounds like you may have the black and green wires swapped.

Yes it will power on when plugged into the charger and positive my recharge port is hooked up correctly.that was the first thing I thought of, my pack is #ead but when I plug it in it boots up and says the charge is full when I pull the charger out it cuts off I will quadruple check to see if my wiring is correct but this is the first issue I've had
Plugging anything into the recharge port will cut power to the board if you wired it in the "kill key" setup. Since it's getting power from the charger while plugged in, it sounds like you have the board negative and battery negative wires swapped. That would also explain why it won't recharge the battery pack. The plug is cutting power to the battery instead of the board.

YES you are absolutely right I feel like an idiot but I'm glad that's all it is thank you for the help can't believe I did that my schematic shows the correct way and the manual I had in front of me during my build but I still reversed them lol thanks again
No problem, glad you got it sorted out. Make sure you let it charge all the way up before you start playing with it again.

Cool thanks again
