4s2p full charge

well now in addition to not being able to add i cant type fast enough either lol

When it reaches 0 amps it's done, like you stated.

Lipos charge using a sequence called CC/CV - constant current/constant voltage. It will charge at CC until it reaches full voltage for the cell count (2S = 8.4v, 4S = 16.8v), then charger switches to charging at CV and the charge current will slowly fall until its zero which is where the charge is finished. This is the special charging that is needed for lipos - CC/CV and is different from charging used for Nxxx, and other types of batt chemistry.

If your lipo is new, it will need a few cycles before it will show you what its really going to be like capacity wise. Keep temps reasonable during these early cycles to get longest life and best performance.

Yep, do what Duster says. Take it easy on the lipo for the first few cycles. This will help cheaper lipos more, as the cells may not be matched as well as the high end lipos. You may also find that you have a "strong" cell, that will hold its charge better. That is why it is important to set the lvc higher than 3v per cell. I like to go with 3.2v per cell, that helps if a weaker cell discharges faster than the others. Because the lvc reads the entire pack voltage, not individual cells, you can have a problem with a 3v per cell setting.

Example, if you dischare a 3s lipo (11.1v nominal) to the lvc setting of 3v per cell, 9v, all of the cells should be 3v. Now, if you have a strongf cell that has maintained voltage of 3.2v, the other cells will be 2.9v which is not good for lipo cells.
