Status: offline 		I have just built an A123 1100 pack, and i purchased the lipo dapter to charge the pack. My question is I have read all the instructions but cannot find out what to charge the batteries on, which setting? I have a Hobbico accu-cycle eliete charger, do i use the Lion charge rate or nicad? What cell count should i use on my charger?

I was told it was if used with the dapter from SLK electronics. I just found the page on SLK website that says to use the 2.5 nicad per 1 M1 cell. Is this not correct?
