Hello,

I want to make sure 100 % that I can charge my 2600 mAh Li-ion Relions with a "normal" LiPo charger.

I read the manual a 1000 times but I can't figure out if I can use my normal Lipo charger for these Li-ion cells. Just want to make sure before I kill them.

This is my cheap charger:

Thank you very much.

Hi Chief Heli
Very sorry I cant answer your question it maybe worth trying to get in touch with Robbe direct they must have an info/help line. Robbe also have a Forum it may be worth while posting there before frying your batteries :bawl

Fromeco's Relion batteries are charged as normal LIPO, in other words 3.7v nominal (not 3.6 like LI-ON)

Thank you for the replys!

I emailed fromeco with this question, this is thier answer:

Yes you can, just set you charger for 7.4 volts or a 2 cell polymer, and no more than 2 amps and you will be set.

I'm charging it as we speak, no problems yet!
