Hobbico Quick Field Charger MK2
I am using this to charge li po batteries. I am having a problem charging them fully. This charger will only get them to 11.63 volts? Does anyone else have this charger? Will it charge li po's above 12 volts?

RE: Hobbico Quick Field Charger MK2
I have used this charger on a 3 cell 1320 and it charged to 12.3 volts. My apache 2500 gets em up to 12.6 though. Check your power source. It may need a charge.

RE: Hobbico Quick Field Charger MK2
I use this charger for all my batteries, li-po, nicd and nimh. It does very well for the nicd and nimh in my Tx and glow plane Rx's. For li-po's it's just plain bad. I get 8.05v on my 2S li-po's. With a buddies triton I got the 8.60v I should. My MK2 also takes 2+ hours to charge my 1320mah 2S. The Triton took 57 minutes since it can be adjusted to a higher amp output. I am gonna get an Astro 109 for my li-po's, since the MK2 just doesn't cut it. The LHS owner told me it would charge the li-po's but not fully and he was right. I really needed it for my glow planes and heli though. Some people report full charges with their MK2, but no one I have met says that and I have seen no proof of a full charge either. Maybe some of them are bette than others.
