Charging single cell GP3300 on ICE
When I charge my single cell GP3300 on my ICE charger, it never detects peak and just keeps going until it fills up to capacity% (which was set to 150%).
The cell still works fine. (I use it for my glo-igniter.) But I'd like to get it to the point where my charger can correctly detect peak and stop the charger at a more appropriate time.
Questions:
What does Peak sensitivity mean? If it's not detecting, do I make it higher or lower? I've tried 5mv and 4mv /cell.
Do higher numbers mean more sensitivity?

RE: Charging single cell GP3300 on ICE
chargeing single cells is sometimes very tricky and the charge leads must be short and large. Also a pretty good cell holder is usually nessesary too. 4-5 mv seems just perfect. The higher the number means it is less sensative and will charge longer.
by your post you are getting nearly 5000 mah into the cell? I am also curious as to the voltage graph. Does it just keep going higher and higher? and never tapers off or drops?
I remember doing a number of single cells and did not have trouble with them not peaking, I had the opposite trouble with them peaking when they should not have done so.
