RE: AWESOME- Found Source for NEW a123 Lipo Nano Chemistry Batteries
Well I've charged and discharged them 3 times.
Charge 2.2A Discharge 2.2A 2400MAh ...cell not above room temp after charge
Charge 5A Discharge 10A 2200MAh ...Cells slightly warm
Charge 8A Discharge 10A 2250MAh ...Cells definatly got warm (no temp sensor as you can tell)
I'm not sure how warm to the touch 90-95F is that the ICE manual called the max temp range but I suspect I might have reached that, perhaps exceeded it at 8A charge...can't really say as I don't exactly know how warm 95F is by touch. I'll have to order a temp sensor. I do notice the discharge voltage according to the ICE never really sits at 3.6V under load Its always 3.4 and well under most of the time. I'm a bit concerned about that and the temp at 8A but I don't charge many lipo but I think it should hold voltage better than that right? Maybe someone has an explanation? I also noticed the voltage spiked to 4.4 after the constant current cut off on the last charge...its the only cut off I saw..any insight is welcome.
