Battery question
I am new to Lithium Poly batteries, I just got a Kokam 3 cell 700mah pack.
I have a Triton charger, what is the best way to charge this battery? Also, how long do the batteries normally take to charge?

RE: Battery question
Kokam batteries come with a detailed information sheet. You should read it; it's probably just going to repeat what I say.
Use a charger designed for LiPolys. Triton's OK, but MAKE SURE, triple check, that you're using the Lithium program.
NEVER charge at higher than a 1C rate. C is the Capacity of the pack. For a 700mAh pack, that's 700mA or .7 Amps.
The Triton has a manual cell count setting. TRIPLE CHECK that you're using the correct cell count setting. For your pack, the 3S, or 3-cell setting is correct.
