RE: Recommended Charge Rates LiPO
I have several 3 and 4 cell 3300mah Lipos. Some are rated for up to a 7C charge rate, others at 1 to 2 C rates.
That aside, as the charge percentage increases, the charge current decreases, in order to not apply a voltage greater than 4.2Vdc per cell.
Naturally, the higher applied current, the faster the charger must change from current limit mode (CC) to voltage limit mode (CV).
My chargers are capable of up to 6A into a 4C lipo. They typically only supply max current for a few minutes, then start folding back into
CV mode. Given a choice, and the money, I'd likely buy a Lipo charger that can charge multiple batteries at the same time.
As it is, I have two chargers, on on the bench, and one in the field case, along with the necessary leads to attach to an auto or truck electrical system.
