accucel 6 charger question
 

when i have my lipos in "Charge mode" does it balance them also?

when i have my lipos in "balance mode" does it charge them too?

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

It does both as long as you have both leads hooked up.

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

so it charges and balances in both modes aslong as i have the balaning connector hooked up

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

Yes

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

In regards to the Accucel 6, I always have a problem trying to find the 'maintenance charge' screen. Does anyone else have problems like that?? I just can't seem to 'get there from here'.

I'm pretty new to this myself but I have no idea what "Maintenance Charge" is. Do you mean "Storage Charge" ?

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

Hi TomBates,

Yup... sorry I used the wrong verbiage. I've seen it written as Maintenance Charge in other places but you're more correct than I am. I just can't seem to get to that function.

Hi Bob,
Look at the "Program Flow Chart" in the instruction manual. That will show thenecessary stepsto LiXX Storge,

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

hmm, I was under the impression is only charges in charge mode even if both leads are attached and balance/charges when set to balance mode.

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

Just as matter of interest i see the accucel 6 is on offer at   $29.99, think i'll get a spare

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

anyone have a pic of the correct hook up of battery and charger( the one in the instruction manual is cut off on one side)? I just got mine and I'm new to E flight and don't want to fry a new pack. I ordered Rhino's with it and I don't think it came with the correct lead for them.
thanks for any help, especially a pic

Go to Hobby King, they have them on sale for $19.99.

Press:

Program select/LiPo Batt - enter - ++++ = LiPo Storage

TPH1,
Do you have an Accucel 6 and trying to hook up a LIPO battery? If so, you have to connect the charge pigtail, from the batt., to the banana jacks on the side of the charger. The charge pigtail is the one with the larger wires. You may have to make or buy an adapter to go from the banana jacks to what ever type of plug you have on your batts. charge pigtail. The other pigtail, from the batt., with the small wires, should have a small white plug which is for plugging into the balancing ports next to the banana jacks. Depending on the number of cells your batt. has will determine which charge port to plug into. Here is a photo of what it looks like.

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

yes it is a 6 and yes on the LiPo's, is the jack on the left side that looks like a round plug go to the 12v battery? Also, I get it on the balancing jack but do I need to buy 2 bullets and make a commector for the 10ga wires also?

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

I just edited my first responce with a photo. Yes the round jack on the left side of your charger is for your 12 volt input. Yes you need to have a adapter pigtail with banana jaks on one side and your batt type plug on the other end. Do you have a manual??

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

It didn't come with one but I downloaded the online one. It has the pic cut off on the right side so it was a little unclear.
thanks for your help

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

Thats where i got mine and saw the price, now $24.99, can't see it at $19.99 though

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

I have to agree, I don't see it now either. Someone pointed it out the other day and it was on their home page but I don't see it now. Looks like we both missed out on it.

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

I just ordered an Acucel 6 and 2 Zippy 4S 1P -30 2650 LiPo batteries. Charger cost 24.99 and bat approx $35.00 each. Sounded pretty good price.
I am new to E-fliight and just received my Sequence F3A combo, Rimfire 32 motor and ECS. I'll be using Futaba FAAST rradio system.

RE: accucel 6 charger question
 

another dumb question, how do you know when they are finished? the manual doesn't say, does it just stop charging?
