Posted January 29, 2016 What is the rated voltage of your 3S cell? Your charger should report back the voltage of the battery as it's charging. Unless you know exactly what you are doing you shouldn't charge the battery past that voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 29, 2016 Check the max voltage for the battery, it should be on the side. Normally it'll be something like 4.2V. Charge it until the output voltage is at that and then cut the power.

Posted January 29, 2016 Author its a 3s battery so 11.1v or do you mean per cell Check the max voltage for the battery, it should be on the side. Normally it'll be something like 4.2V.

Posted January 29, 2016 its a 3s battery so 11.1v or do you mean per cell Per cell. Even if you have them in series. This is why proper charging circuits almost always have leads between the batteries when they're in series, so that they can monitor the voltage of each battery.

Posted February 1, 2016 I have the turnigy accucel 6 too, it's very easy to tell when it's fully charged as long as you input the correct battery type its pretty simple, you don't want to undercharge or overcharge the battery by selecting the wrong mode. Plug in the balance plug to prevent voltage differences between cells you don't have to do it every time but it's a good idea to. I'm pretty sure if you charge the battery at around 1000mA the battery should last a little longer, for long term storage over the winter periods you would want to have the battery charge at 3.8 to 3.85 v per cell. The charger you have has a storage mode in the software so again pretty simple, as long as you don't do anything silly like swapping the polarity you should be fine. Just don't have you battery stored at maximum charge for a long time it's a good idea to get it to storage voltage to prolong it's life CPU: Intel 3570 GPUs: Nvidia GTX 660Ti Case: Fractal design Define R4 Storage: 1TB WD Caviar Black & 240GB Hyper X 3k SSD Sound: Custom One Pros Keyboard: Ducky Shine 4 Mouse: Logitech G500 Ubisoft's Anthem: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/249540-my-ubisoft-song/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 1, 2016 If you are in the hobby invest the $2 in a tester. Obviously a voltmeter would work as well. Lipo Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
