Thanks for the video! Quick question: I have 1300mah LiPo 4S batteries and I charged them up with 1.3 amps until all cells were 4.2V. The mah on the screen when charging was finished was only 650mah or so. Is that supposed to go up to 1300mah at full charge?
When you purchase lipo packs they come partially charged for storage. The first charge will be less than full capacity because there is already charge present. When you fly and drain the pack to 14V, charging it back up to 16.8V should take about as much as the pack is rated for.
@@kyakfsh ahhhh... so the maH displayed is what it took to charge, not the charge present? I was guessing this because the voltage of each cell was right where it should be. The instruction booklet doesn't really clarify the parts of the display, especially for a newbie. Thanks for the response!
Which one would you recommend as a better option for charging 6s batteries, this 608AC or D1? Both chargers can do AC as well as DC. D1 is slightly more expensive (few dollars basically), but I wonder if it's also more powerful too? Thank you for your valuable opinion!
@@AddictedQuadroner 6S nominal voltage is 22.2VDC. Charge current at 1C would be 1.35 amps. Power is voltage X current = 22.2 x 1.35 = 30 watts. So either of these chargers would work for you.
@@kyakfsh - Thank you so much! I believe I will go with 608AC, due to its small form factor and the modular nature. Plus, to be honest I like that 608AC jog-wheel a lot better too :)
Yes, you can charge various size batteries. When you insert the balance plug, and reading the voltage across the main plug, the charger sets the S value automatically,
@kevin avila Good point. You'd need to make up an adapter to charge 1S cells. You'd connect them in series so they looked like a multi celled battery to the charger.
