I have a 3 cell lipo 1300MAh battery. I also have a celectra lipo charger. The options that I have on the charger are: 2.0A,1.5A, 1A, 500mA and 250mA. I have a cell selector for 1-2 and 3 cells. What should I set the charger on. Sorry for this, but I don't have any instruction manual. Thanks
You don't want to charge over 1C (1x capacity). Therefore, a three cell 1.3 amp battery should charge at 1 amp on the three cell setting.
The prefix milli is 10^(-3). 1000mA = 1A
micro (symbol mew) is 10^(-6).
The exponents are multiples of three because it is engineering notation.
Going the other way
kilo (K) = 10^3
mega (M) = 10^6
