AC Dynam charging micro batteries ??

[tywest]

I have a AC Dunam Supermate DC6 lipo charger. I am not sure how to set this all up for my micro batteries. I have the connectors for the batteries but am struggling with the settings.

I would like to charge the following

200 mAh 1S 3.7V 25 C
250 mAh 1S 3.7V 25 C
500 mAh 1S 3.7V 25 C - "3C maximum charge rate"

I can figure out getting the charger to the 3.7V 1S mode.. How many Amps do I set the charger for.. It looks like it goes between .1 and 5?

Anything else I should know?

Thanks..

I don't know that charger. But here's some info on charge rates.

Charge Rate = 1c
200 mAh = 200ma
250 mAh = 250ma
500 mAh = 500ma

Charge Rate = 2c
200 mAh = 400ma
250 mAh = 500ma
500 mAh = 1 amp

Charge Rate = 3c
200 mAh = 600ma
250 mAh = 750ma
500 mAh = 1.5 amps

When charging in parallel, you multiple the current times the number of cells. For instance charging 2 x 200mah cells at 1c each would be 400ma. Charging 6 x 200mah cells at 1c would 1.2 amps.

I looked it up and it looks like a fine charger for micros. It's not something you wouldl use once you get into helis that are 450 sized or larger.
