| Hi all,
Got a new charger yesterday <http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/t425355p1/>;
I was able to charge a Parkzone 3s 11.1 2200mAh battery with no problems. It completed the cycle and showed proper levels (twice). This morning, I went to charge the little E-flite batteries from my Blade CP (EFLB0995 - 3s 11.1v 800mAh E-Flite) and am not quite sure what I'm doing.
When the charger ask for the amperage, I entered 0.8A, which I got from the charger I have been using prior to this one (E-Flite EFLC 3105). The battery doesn't appear to have that spec on it.
After leaving the battery on the charger for about 35 minutes,it indicated 12.5v and 430mAh, at which point I cut it off, due to concerns. I assume the mAh rating is what is being put back in the battery as when I charge the 2200mAh battery, I end up with around 370mAh when it says< "completed".
Lest you say, "RTFM", I would tell you that I have and there is NOTHING in it giving the specs for charging this, or any other battery. I've looked online and can find nothing.
Given that these numbers SEEM awfully high, and I tend to follow the advice given on this forum, which is, "if you think it's wrong, it probably is"....
Can you guys tell me if I've got this right?
The charger DID NOT indicate the charge was complete. When it reached these levels I shut it down due to paranoia. I did start it off with this input....
Lipo Charge
0.8A 11.1V(3S)
Balanced charge
Any advice is appreciated. I really don't want to blow anything up today and info on this seems quite sparse.
Many thanks.
