Overloader lipo charge takes ages
 
Have been using my robotronic overloader to charge my lipo 2s packs (3200,4000)at 1c charge rate and turned capacity to 90 percent but the last 1.5 amps takes for ever even when non-balancing or balance charge.It takes 90 minutes to full charge and all other chargers take around 30-40 mins.Had a look thro the menus to try and speed it up but it wont let you increase the amps above the pack size.The only way is to set the charger to a higher capacity in the menus so i can increase the amps but don't want to do this.It's agreat charger just takes to bloody long.Any ideas:confused:

3 amps or 4 amps should be fine,
if its the only way to increase the amps buy increasing the capacity then i would do that a little say 4500 5000 it doesnt mean that it will charge the packs to that, just up the amps it will detect the lipo and turn it off when its full

They are we'll known for taking ages, one of the 1st NiMH chargers to do lipo. Ramping amps up will not change it as its the way it monitors the end of the charge, I cured mine the easy way, I sold it a bought a better charger,
