bantam bc-6

hello just got my new bc-6 charger and need some help with some issues, found that when i charging my 2200 mah 18c 3 cell that the charger would show 12.6 volts and 4.2 per cell but would not signal done charging . do i unplug at this point or let it keep going not sure seems like it is slowly still putting in mah, after awhile it just timed out. any help would be greatly appreciated

It has switched from Constant current to Constant voltage - the proper way to charge a li-po, let it finish charging.

The charger will charge a 3S pack to 12.6V (CC mode) and then switch to CV mode to finish the charge. This is normal and the way it is suppose to work. The amperage in CV mode will drop by 100 mah until the battery is full and the charger will terminate the charge.

The default time cut off is 120 minutes. Assuming that is what the charger is set for, the only reason it would time out is that you have 1 cell that is severely out of balance. When this situation occurs, the charger will go to 0 to 100 mah charge rate and bleed the high cells at 300 ma to maintain a 4.2V per cell while the low cell charges. This process can take some time as the charger is also continuosly checking the pack to determine if the pack can hold the voltage. It will not over charge a pack, it will terminate the charge when the charges sees that the pack or cell cannot take anymore energy.

I would also recommend to get the thermal probe.
Attach it with velcro or a rubber band to the battery and set the maximum temp to 30° Celsius. This will insure that the battery will never reach a dangerous situation.
