Is it possible? - 06.24.2009, 11:38 PM

Is it possible for my Rhino 5s1p 4900mAh to hold over 5000mAh? currently it charging and is up to 5108mAh charging at 20.89v - 20.99v using .01 - .2 AMPS. im guessing its near the end of the charge cycle since its at that low of amps. thoughts? My turnigy held over 5200mAh and its only rated @ 5000mAh

Yep, some lipos have been know to hold more than their rated spec. Maxamps used to use a 4000 spec cell (written on the foil) in their 3000 packs....

If the pack is staying cool during the charge, and you are using a lipo changer with cc/cv profile you will be fine. Maybe a pic of your charging setup, just in case.

Also note that when using a balancer it discharges the higher cells. So as it bleeds off to balance it still has to put that back in for a full charge in the end

Erevonut makes a good point, as the balancer does its work it will draw out the pack a bit, and the charger will put in addl mah to top it off again.
