pich

hi ive just got my first rc car and its a hpi sprint 2 flux with hpi plasma 3000ma 7.4v lipo battery and a ansmann xbase 2.0 se charger, im not sure on how to use the charger correctly and wanted some help?

ive set the charger to lipo charge at 3.0a 2s but the volatage setting is different to what the battery says coz the charger can only be set to 8.4v when the battery is 7.2v? i looked in the manual and it said that 8.4v is the max cut out volltage for the 7.2v battery? is it ok to use this setting coz i have been as i thought it was the only setting close to my batterty?

once the charge is complete should the charger say.... charge complete or should i just keep an eye on it untill it charges to bout 8v then take it off like i have been??

any help would be great

also im only getting bout 5mins run time when im using the battery?? is this about right?? ive got the lipo saftey cut out on on my car
