i Charger 106b+ will not go into LiPo mode
I have a i Charger 106b+. I use my automobile battery charger as the input power supply.
I have charged 2s and 3s life batteries with it as well as NiMH Batteries.
I just got my first LiPo a 260 ma Turnigy 2s.
The problem I am having is I cannot get the charger to go into LiPo mode. I can select anything else.
What am I missing?

You shouldn't be using a charger to power it, use a car battery or a good 12V supply (actually about 13.8V). That charger puts out a pulsating DC, not a pure DC voltage.

I think on some of them you have to go in to the life setting and change it to lipo. Then when you cycle through the choices lipo might come up. A pain if you charge lipo and life.
