Revolectrix CellPro PowerLab8 Help
I've been in RC for many years, but my weak suit is, and always been, battery settings. A couple years back I decided I was done with the (connect/press-start) chargers and convinced myself I could learn how to charge batteries more efficiently. Not so! Admittedly I just don't get it and can't seem to find a manual for dummies. I'm using the CellPro PowerLab8 charger, with Revolectrix 24v/55amp Power Station, and Revolectrix MPA board. Node Wiring on the charger is set to XH/EH because the manual said that the MPA needed JST/EH/EH wiring convention on the balance port.
I am trying to charge a Protek PTK-LF-RX1600-L-2S LiFe pak. It's a 6.6v 2-cell 1600mAH being used in a Airtronics M-12 transmitter. I've charged it before, but never being confident that my charger was set correctly or that the battery was fully charged. I'm using the CellPro CCS software. I edited an A123 2300mjAh Accurate Charge preset and my settings now look like this, but as I said, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Can "anyone" offer suggestions to get me on track? Are the settings below for the preset correct in your opinion?
Preset Settings:
Parallel Packs: None
Charge Amps: 1.60A
Charge Voltage: 3.650v
C/Termination: C/20
Sound Beep At: 90% Fuel Level
Balance Entire Charge: Yes
Cold Weather T.: None
Discharge Amps: 2.25A
Discharge Mode: Internal/Regenerative
Discharge Voltage: 2.80v
Cycles: 1
Cool Down: 5 Min
End Cycling with: Charge
Lock Preset: No
I know some of the settings are unimportant, but I included them anyway. Thanks in advance.
