ELECTRIFLY POLY CHARGE4 HELP
 
heys guys gotta Q re the polycharge charger...........owners of this unit are aware it charges 4 lipos ata time,so Ill hook up the bats, push the start and all green lites come on. OK so after awhile the lites now flash red, 1 time for each cell in the pack " Im charging 2S packs" anyway after the red flashes does that mean thier in charge mode?? the directions are kind of flakey!!

When you press the start buttons the leds should turn green. After two to three minutes they should start flashing. The number of flashs is the number of cells detected. You should all ways check this. The charger beeps and the lights turn red when the charging is finished.

When you charge a pack at less than 1C, it simply takes longer to charge. A properly-working lipo charger will charge to full capacity no matter the charge rate.

Charging a 5000 mAh pack at charge rate of 3000 mA is 3000/5000 = 0.6C. Since a 1C charge takes a little over an hour, a 0.6C charge should take about 2 hours.
