lipo question ...HELP?! - 06.08.2008, 02:00 AM

I just got a new 3s lipo,(today) and it's been sitting on my charger for over 2 hours stuck at 12.45V.....all of my other lipos are 12.65 when fully charged and have never taken more than 2 hours to charge ...is this one bad?

No it is not bad. Sometimes it takes a couple cycles to get to the packs full potential. What type of charger are you using?

nothing should be wrong. IMO... first 5 cycles, don't let it drop below 50% when discharging and don't go hard out on d throttle. After 5 cycles then do what u want.

Agreed!, Your lipo's will need to go through several cycles before achieving max storage capacity.

On my old charger my 3s 5400mAH took me almost two hours per charge but that only do the fact I could only charge it at 3amps, with my new charger I can charge it in 45min @ 5amps..

What amp are you charging yours at??.


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..
