Accu-Cycle Elite Lipo Settings
I just got into electric foamie flying and I have a question concerning charger settings. I am using Duralite Thunder Plus Li-PO batteries and charging them with one of the new Hobbico Accu-Cycle Elite chargers. The batteries are 1320 mah 11.1 volts. When I set up the charger for the first time that I charged them I let the charger set the charge rate (.30 A). Is this right or can I go to .70 A or higher. Help me out guys I don't want to cook batteries or mess something up on the charger.

RE: Accu-Cycle Elite Lipo Settings
The correct answer is located in the instructions that came with the batteries, but typically, LiPoly batteries can be charged at 1C, but no more than that. C is the Capacity of the pack in Amps. A 1320mAh pack will have a C value of 1.320 Amps, for example. 1C on a 1320mAh pack is 1.320 Amps.

RE: Accu-Cycle Elite Lipo Settings
Thanks! That is what I thought but I wanted to be sure. I charged them at .70A last night and they appeared to be fine. I will bump it on up to 1.3 and let the Charge Safe take care of the rest. Thanks Again. Grind
