LiPoly fully charged?
I have a new ThunderPower 2100 (2S) pack.
After completion of the first charge with my Astroflight 109, the total Mah registered 850 mAH.
I would have thought that it would have been close to 2100 mAH since that's the batteries rating.
Any thoughts?

RE: LiPoly fully charged?
LiPo packs are usually stored at 1/2 or less of their capacity. When you charged it the first time, you took it from that point up to a full charge. If you have any doubts, discharge the pack on your charger and see how many MAH it delivers. It will probably give you about 2.1 amps, and then when recharged will show about the same (or a little more) was put back in.
