I dont think I said anything about trying to get the voltage any higher - I wanted to know about the amperage. I think maybe I misstated what I wanted to know. I'm not going to try to re-charge them to get the mAh's up, I just wanted to know the rationale behind the numbers I'm seeing, if it was a sign of a dying pack, and if what I was watching others do was wrong (BTW, they were doing this on Nimh packs).

The lipo's I was charging today were purchased used and were at 3.6V prior to charge, 4.2 after. What does the 2100mah number my charger is reading after the charge mean? It also shows me the charge rate.

The A123's are charging to full voltage, its just the mah reading that is "low".
