Charging batteries.

[Katamotai]

Hello, I’m completely new to airsoft and for some reason what is probably really simple seems like rocket science to me.

 

How do I know if the battery is fully charged, and that it’s charging correctly in the first place?

 

Ive inserted pictures and a video as I figured that’s probably a much easier way to explain.

Ok I’m hoping you know how to use your charger, it looks similar to the IMAX B6, it’s probably a knock off Nuprol have rebranded. If you don’t know, hold the start button down for 2-3 seconds and it’ll beep and bring up another screen that’ll talk about cells, make sure you get the right one(7.4v 2 cells ,11.1v 3 cells) and press start again.

 

This will then bring up another screen which will tell you in the top right how much is in your battery, it’ll then beep when it’s fully charged. 

 

 

Edit: After watching your video , I see you know what your doing, on balance mode it can take up to an hour to fully balance. A 7.4v battery is fully charged at 8.4V.

Yeah I selected 7.4 2S. But right now at the top right it’s telling me 8.40V. So does this mean there’s too much voltage in the battery right now and I should stop charging?

[Prisce]

No. Sorry, I didn’t watch the vid( couldn’t see it) and then I did and edited.

 

 

8.4V is fully charged for a 7.4v lipo.

Based on what its showing and the battery you have got connected press and hold 'start' it should run a check to make sure everything is connected properly, will probably ask you to press start again to confirm. When charged should beep and probably show 'lipo full'

Thanks for the help!
