You can also charge it on a Lithium charger with the new Lipodapter
Or you could get a good lab quality power supply if you are willing, BK Precision 1696. You could charge any battery with this bad boy. $330 Not for everyone. |
I plan on doing a "manual" CV phase, where I will lower the charge current to keep the pack close to 3.6v/cell.
Just FYI, the LiPo Dapter does the same thing I was talking about - it cuts the charge when the pack reaches 3.6v/cell, it doesn't do CV.
