Charging Lipos on Accucycle Elite

[cexshun]

I just picked up a Hobbico Accucycle Elite charge from the LHS and grabbed a Blinky while I was there. Bit of a hassle as the LHS guy swore up and down that a Blinky would not work with a stock e-flight battery. After looking at the pin outs that night, I knew it would work so I went back and bought it anyway, in spite of his constant protests.

Want to make sure these numbers are right because the "auto smart" settings it calculated were way off. Using stock e-flight batteries from CX2

7.4volts
2 cells
800MAH capacity
charger calculated .15A charge rate, I changed it to .8A.

Takes less then 90 minutes to dump 650MAH into it. 45 minutes to reach ~8.4v, then about 35-40 minutes to trickle off to max MAH.

I use an Accucycle Elite also and I change the charge rate all the time. The rate that the unit comes up with is way over on the safe side. I do as you did and put it at 1C most of the time with no ill effects.
