3C Charging with Some TP Lipos -
05.11.2006, 09:55 AM
I just got a TP 2s 2000mah lipo for Mini-T and a safty sheet came with it. On the sheet it states:
"Charging at 3C: You must use Thunder Power 1010C charger in conjunction with a Thunder Power Balancer, only ProLite 910, 1320, 2000, 2100 are qualify to charge at 3C."
I thought this was interesting and wanted to pass on the info.
The flightpower evo'20s can be charged at 2.5C aswell but you'll get less cycles.I'd still charge the TPs at 1C if you want to get the most cycles out of them.
Most newer 15C+ packs can be charged at 3C. Kokam has been promoting it for some time now. The key to doing 1C+ charges is cell balance. If one cell is way off, it can cause great damage or be damaged greatly at higher currents.
