Hey guys/girls

Just have two quick questions.

1. How does a pack look once its puffed? is it pretty obvious, as in the entire pack will be puffed up like a baloon? or is it more subtle?

2. I'm going to be getting some tiny 90mah 1cell lipos, will I be able to charge these on my cellpro 4s charger? if not, what will I need to charge them?

Thanks a ton for reading.

a puffed battery will appear bloated instead of being rectangle in shape.

1 cell lipo cant be charged with a 4S charger for the charging voltage is too great from the 4S charger to the 1S battery, furthermore the connector wont fit.

the opposite is the case!

A 1S can be charged and it just needs the proper connector that can usually be self made... Old Computer hardware yields an amazing array of connectors that work great as balancing connectors....

The 4S will automatically adjust the current. Just set it to 1C LIpo and charge away...

I use the 4S to charge my airhohs Lipo and it works great.

The cellpro charges 1, 2, and 3 S. Look in the manual how it has to be connected to the charge lead

cheers
