Hi there!
I have recently received both packs and a charger I bought from you. I have read the manual for the charger, which states "to determine proper charge current in Ampere, consult the manual for the battery, or your dealer", and since I have found no manual for any batteries, the latter is what I'm doing in this post.
I got this charger:

this balancer:

This pack:

and this pack:
http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-6000-74-Pack.htm
Questions:
Now, I dont fully understand what settings to use on the charger, or rather how to find out. I need some sort of equation.
- Does this charger detect when the battery is full, or do I have to calculate charge time and disconnect? Does this vary with battery type?
- What are the optimal charge and discharge settings for regular Nimh/nicd's?
- What would be the upper limit of (dis)charge current (C-number) for the packs mentioned above (for speedy operation).
Thanks in advance!
You don't need any equations..........
Simply turn on the charger go to the Nimh setting and set the capacity to 4400 mAh. And charge rate of 4.4 amps this is a 1C charge rate make sure the charger is set to 100% charge and let it go. It will finish on it's own.
As for your Li-Po pack Slect Li-Po on the charger set capacity at 6000mAh's and seeing that the EOS5 only charges at 5 amps max you have to charge the 6000 at 5 amps instead of 6 amp which would be A 1C charge rate.
Always charge at 1C ............ 4400Mah pack at 4.4 amps ............... 6000 mAh pack at 6 amps.
If you need further help E-mail me your Phone number and Full Name with a time I can call you. I will walk you through the steps.
