Question on Battery

[kianhon]

I'm using the Esky stock charger. Wat is the voltage should b when a 3cell 2200mah 11.1v 20c and 25c are fully charged? I charged both for 4 hours and the charger still blinking, and when I read the voltage, it is only 3.8. I constantly monitor the charger for 4 hours when it is charging and it never stock blinking.

ya the stock charger can take 4 hours plus. It charges ok, but it takes forever.

2 more questions on battery.

1. How many packs do you bring along when you are going to the field.
2. Do you recharge it on the spot after each flight? if yes, at what current?

Thanks! :fly

I only bring 3 packs of LIPO to the field (thats alI I have for now). I charge it when I reach home. No idea what current it is. The Esky stock charger I'm using, label says "Input 11.5v-13.5v. Output 0.8A). Should it take 4 hours to charge my 11.1v 2200mah 3s1p Lipo? Each cell should be at 4.2v when fully charge, right? Minimum how much should I have for each cell to prevent damage (for a 11.1v and 7.4v 2s lipo)?

Those batteries will probably take longer than 4 hours. Just charge it untill the green light stays constant green. It may seem like its taking forever but it will eventually stop blinking.

Thnx for the replies, I got myself a Thunder Power chager today & it charge each lipo in 1hr. I'm sick of waiting for 4 hrs to get a LIPO charged.
