I have an Accucell-6 and I was charging a Turnigy 3S 4000mah LiPo. It's supposed to alarm me when the battery is full but it never happened. So I look at it and the charger is changing the charge rate and the battery voltage is fluctuating between 12.59V and 12.6V. So I figure this is why it's never telling me it's done. It worked just fine yesterday..Any help?
Well 12.6 is the peak voltage of a 3s pack... If the charge current was either decreasing or pulsing on/off repeatedly then that's what it is supposed to do. I'm not sure how that charger works as I don't own one, but it sounds like it was just finishing off the charge when you saw it. Another few minutes and it probably would've sounded the alarm.
my charger(triton2) charges to 4.2v per cell and then tapers the charge back down .2a I think. From the time it hits 4.2v per cell till the charge is done is alittle while. (more than 10 mins I would think.)

Really? Okay then I'll see what happens this charge around.
