Sorry guys, was working on that last post of mine with the pics and didnt see your responses.
Thanks so much for the info - that is excellent to know.
I thought it was right that the WATTS would increase as the voltage did.
However, as each cell is NOT labelled individually, we have a bit of a problem, do we?
i.e. ignoring new technology which can charge lipos at rates greater than 1C, the standard "safe" way to charge lipos is at 1C.
However, charging a SINGLE saddle cell at 1C of what is written on the label is wrong.
Take my 5400mAH - if I charge one at a time at 5.4A, then actually I have charged at 2C.
To charge one saddle pack at 1C I would need to charge at 2.7A.
Correct?
Re: balance lead. I didnt get a balance lead with the cells and the one in my charger uses a 2mm banana plug, so I have to make my own balance lead.
