CHECK YOUR SETTINGS

DO NOT CHARGE THEM AS LIPO's !!!!

Lipo's charge up to 4.2v max charge

LiFe's charge up to 3.8v max charge

(I think but don't quote me)

you can push half a volt charge onto them

but LiPo's are 3.7v & LiFe's are 3.3v

So they need different settings in ya IMAX B6

or a B3 type with a proper LiFe output

You probably know all this but just passing it on

Don't damage your LiFe's - ergh is that suicide then ?

Don't overcharge your LiFe batteries by charging them on LiPo settings

Happy charging etc....

Don't worry and cheers for the advice Sitting Duck. They were charged on life. Fortunately the charger has a idiot proof indicator aside from the switch. Lipos settings cause all led's to turn blue and life settings cause the led's to turn green when selected. 

That is probably coz a used LiFe drops to 3v or less

On a Lipo you get a cell failure if it goes too low

Then you need to trickle charge the low LiPo

When it gets back above say 3.2v or more then

You should be able to charge the LiPo on the B6 again

Too easy to plug it in to cheapo China B3 type chargers

let it charge not knowing it will overcharge a LiFe !!!

Some B3's have a LiFe setting or so but not all/most

B6 is a bit of learning curve coz you edit the LiPo settings

Or make up your custom one

But I "think" it still needs to toggle Lipo to LiFe in settings

(bit of a faff tbh)

IMHO - I never found the LiFe THAT bigger difference

compared to using a good 25c or 30c 7.4v LiPo

maybe in stock guns but never noticed much on a tweaked gun

Supposed to be the ideal stop gap between 7.4v & 11.1v

Bought 9.9v for FireHawk - bloody tight fit in stock tube

Then said sod it & chucked fixed stubby stock & cheap block 7.4v

Somewhere I got a monster 4000mah or something for full stock

Not that impressed so not bothered to buy again

But it might work out OK for you in your gun

Just watch your charge settings

(and go deans if you can solder properly)
