Lipo charging!

[ElZer0]

have gone to the dark side and got a Lipo charger and battery

have bought the turnigy charger for a component place...

I have a 7.4V 1900mAh 25C lipo

what settings should I put the charger on to charge this??

step by step instructions would be good

Thanks!!!

Re: Lipo charging!

Balances 7.4v lipo @ 1.9amp

but thats my charger ( sigma eq 2 )

yours may differ

Re: Lipo charging!

there is probably a step by step guide on youtube if you have a look. most of the major chargers are covered on there. then as mentioned set it at 1.9amps or below.

I always just whack it on 1amp because what's the rush

Re: Lipo charging!

put it on to balance charge at 0.9ah

Re: Lipo charging!

why 0.9?

Re: Lipo charging!

0.9 the best balance charge rate, 1.9 will be like a fast charge, and we al know what that does

Never had a problem using the rule mAh devided by 1000 = Charging amps

My batterys last all day without fail and even a few weeks later are well above minimum voltage

Re: Lipo charging!

some of these good quality lipos can be charged at like 4-5amps.

but might as well put it on low just to be safe

Re: Lipo charging!

Sorry to hijack the thread but a quick question then i'll shut up - i got a 7.4v 1200ma 20c stick battery with the gun....its an M4 and the battery goes up the buffer tube. I want to stay as realistic looking as possible so don't really want to go down the route of large batteries hanging off the stock etc.

Am I going to have issues with this battery size and performance? The gun is a standard spec G&P M4 and i'm a double tapper rather than a sprayer!!

Re: Lipo charging!

I only use 7.4v lipo's i have both 1200mAh and 2200mAh and they are superb faultless and couldnt recomend them enough.
