However, my Accucel charger died and started smoking from the fan vent. I'd recommend you keep an eye on it while charging!

Select the amperage to charge with. Press the button and it will go through a check, then beep. Press the start button untill the charger beeps repeatedly, just a couple of seconds really. Then the charger will run through oh...and I should read what other people put..lol...erm...as above...lol.

Re: Who uses a Turnigy Accucel 6 lipo charger

You need to select lipo balance charge rather than just lipo charge

What mAh are your batteries?

Re: Who uses a Turnigy Accucel 6 lipo charger

1100

Re: Who uses a Turnigy Accucel 6 lipo charger

Well, don't charge them at more than 1.1A. Personally I'd charge them at 0.5A unless I was in a rush

Try Utube, I was told there is a guide on there.

Select BALANCE not CHARGE for your lipo. Its one of the best chargers for the money. For lipo select balance- put 0.5a to 0.8a and press start. during balancing by pressing either left or right arrow keys u can see the charging capacity of each cell. I assume that u connected your battery with either the deans or tamiya connector and the balancing small connector to 4s in the charger.

Re: Who uses a Turnigy Accucel 6 lipo charger

ive not plugged it in at all yet, my lipo's have deans and the charger came with different plugs so ill have to go to a certain site to get some or check maplins maybe to get some deans and solder a connector up myself before i even turn the thing on!

but thanks for you advise so far guys!

Re: Who uses a Turnigy Accucel 6 lipo charger

charge is fine for the lipo mode, balance mode just balances.

Regardless you only need to balance charge once a year!

The faster you charge the more potential need for balancing.

A shop with components can supply a cable with several different connectors on, including Deans. Though no Tamiyas for some reason.

If I were you, I would get a connector to go from XT60 to deans, if they are the ones you have the Yellow ones. Other wise everytime you plug it in you have two prongs poking out with a small chance of shorting between the two.
