Lipo quessies

You would charge them at 2C (2 times capacity). The first 30mins is a CC charge, which is to about 90%. The rest of the charge time is the CV phase, which with these batteries is short.

The charge time with Lipos/LiFePO4 depends on how much was taken out, and how quickly the CV charge phase goes. The LiFePO4 CV phase goes quickly.

With Lipo in a dual-battery monster truck, usually it is a good idea to get two 3s packs and put them in series like you would with NiMh cells.

What charger would you reccomend to do 6s LiFePO4 at 2C? How many amps is 2C or is it a charge setting?

Thanks peeps,
