Help Understanding Usage of Revolectrix Cellpro Powerlab 8 Charger
This post is intended for experienced users ofthe Powerlab 8 charger or individuals with similar lack of understanding of thesubject, as I am. I don't mean to be rude, just trying to save time for thosethat might not be interested in it. If after readingyou think I'm too ignorant to comprehend, don't be afraid to say so. I'm comingfrom a charger that you plug in the pack and it does it's thing. While I havesome knowledge, I admit I'm lost currently so if you could just point me in theright direction it would be greatly appreciated.
That said, I am trying to charge a 6.6v, 2-Cell, 1600mAh RX pack.
I have recently purchased the followingequipment.
Cellpro PowerLab 8 v2 EC5 Combo 7 (Combo with MPA and FUIM3)
24 VDC 55A, 1320W Power Station
I am also using their CCS software.
I got to the point where I copied the preset I assumed to be correct by readingthe instructions and pasted it to an empty preset location.
Here is where I'm stumped. Where and how do Ichange the Voltage to 6.6, The mAh to 1600, etc.? Isee the on the Preset Screen the Amps are listed. I thought from other readingthat 1-1.5amps is where is should be but I don't see that option. Further theCharge Voltage options only go to 4.0, not 6.6. Obviously I am confused. Ifthere were better directions listed somewhere or an articlethat correlates with the Powerlab screens it would be helpful.
Any advice you can give me is appreciated.

Click on the charge tab with advanced properties checked. You should see an option to change the voltage.
Remember that voltages are per cell. It sounds like you have selected a Lipo configuration as the basis for your custom settings.
an A123 configuration should be more appropriate to your need.
