battery charging in IMAX B6 V3 80W 6A

[flyinairwow]

Hi I have 2 lipo 3s 7200 mah batteries
I want to
charging them

I wanted to ask if my charging settings are correct
I wrote where the c=
07200
I don't know what the c is written before it and after it is written mah
I can put unlimited numbers
You can also put
17200

That's why it's important for me to know what's going on there

The actual charging process is dictated by cell voltage - charging each cell up to 4.2v and balancing them to make sure they are all equal. The Amp setting controls the rate of charge (except at the end when it's topping off each cell). For long-term health of the battery you want to charge at 1C or less. With a 7200mAh pack that would mean charging at 7.2A so 6A is fine.

The capacity ("C") setting is just a safety setting. In case something goes wrong. If you tell the charger that it's a 7200mAh pack, and for some reason it's still charging after putting 7200mAh into the pack, it will stop at that point. It's not really necessary as the charge will stop on it's own once the cells are at max voltage even if you set capacity to unlimited.

Setup safety timer as well. For 1C charge rates, I always setup the timer for 90 minutes. That extra 30 minutes is for finishing up the constant voltage part of a balancing charge.

Thank you for the information

On that particular charger, it wont matter what you set that to since that charger isnt capable of going over about 4 or 5 amps on 3S LiPos anyway. Ideally you would want it set to 7200
