Default Is lipo charging all the way up?

I just got a new hexfly 5800 2c 30c battery for the redcat. Im charging it with a nice tenergy balance charger. When the battery is full the charger only shows it to charge to 5000-5100 before is says full. Should it not charge to the full 5800? It seems to be lasting a while but Im not real sure because Im new to all this. Let me know guys. Thanks

Your charger is replacing the charge that was removed from the battery and this is what the charger is telling you. It is not telling you the capacity available from the battery. No LiPo should ever be completley discharged so the value indicated on the charger should always be less than the capacity of the battery. Your numbers seem to be normal!

You really need to research and read about LiPo batteries before you burn your house down.
Read this entire site and save our family the greif of the clean up after a fire.
