How much charge is too much?

[jnev]

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but my TrueRC 4s2p 8000mAH battery does this exact same thing. However my Max Amps 5500mAH 2s5p saddle pack goes straight to 0 amps right after the CC mode finishes... would anyone happen to know why my Max Amps pack doesn't go through the CV stage like my TrueRC pack does?

Guess it depends on the cells you use and at how much you charge it in CC phase. My A123 cells have a very short CV phase compared to my Sony 18650VT cells even when charged at the same amperage. What i also noticed is the better the balance of the cells, the shorter the cv phase. Perhaps someone could explain it from a more technical perspective.
