word of caution...
READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE USE!
Charging my 2150mAh at 2A only took about an hour, great!
so then, I thought... the higher the charge amps the faster the charge time!
I charged my MegaPower 7.4v 850mAh LiPo [for my CX2] in just under an hour, at 2A... next I plugged up my stock E-Flite 7.4 800mAh (EFLB0990), After more than an hour and a half, the complete charge indication still did not sound, so I looked at the LCD screen and each cell read 4.2V so I unplugged the battery thinking in was fully chargerd. That's when I noticed some swelling in one of the cells.... D'oh
any ideas?
Not sure if you're asking why that happened or not... but basically why it did is because you charged those 800mAh packs at 2.5C, and lipo's can only be charged at 1C max (unless the mfg specifically says they can, but in that case it will shorten the life of the pack). bummer man =(
good to see you back around though! [8D]
