Hey Everyone-

I am charging up orion 1600mah 7.2v batteries. First i charged them to 1600 mah, at .8v, which took a couple hours. Now I realize I want to charge them to 1750mah, which is about 110% capacity.
I am using the onyx 230, and I figured when I set it up the same way, but to 1750 mah, it would realize the battery was already at 1600, and just charge an additional 150.

I started the charge, but the time looks like it is estimated at another 2+hours, and the input capacity starts from zero. At this point, I stopped it, because I didnt know if this was goign to try to put another 1750 in, instead of just make the total 1750.

Does anyone know if it would have input 150 more, and then stopped, or if it would've done an entire recharge cycle?

From this point on, I will just do a 110% charge, but I also want to know this information if I ever need to top off a battery before a run.

Thanks, hope Im not confusing.

Is this even a balance charger? In the 1st place when charging lipo batteries I don't think you should be going over 1600mah anyway and if your not balancing the cells or have no way of checking them you can easily go way over on one cell and fry your battery.
Unless what I learned in the last year was a lie![X(]

Sorry, shouldve mentioned they are NiMh, got the 230 because i plan to get lipo's in the near future.

Maybe this helps: the charger shuts off when the pack is full.

Glad to hear! LOL
