Smile Trakpower

Just after some advice...

Bought a new Trakpower 3200/2s/lipo 30C and it charges and balances to 3800!

Is this a very good pack or ?

I have 2 others which both charge too 3200 dead on?

I know that Flightpower underrate their packs, so it's almost possible. Don't think they'd underrate them that much though.

Stick it on another charger and see what it says, it can't hurt to get a second opinion.

I don`t discharge my lipo`s as i`ve been told it isn`t good!

They are only discharged to the speedo cut off...6v`s

don`t see this as a factor tho

okk so you dont discharge them, but you do to 6 volts!
This has a big factor as to measure a lipo capacity, you go from 6 volts too full, go from 7 to full will give you less mah reading.
If there working ok you have three things to pick from, your lucky and have a better than normal pack, you have a 3600 labled wrong, or your charger is lieing.

The one or two times I've dumped a pack to Lipo cutoff they've charged past their rated capacity and that's on a charger that doesn't over estimate the capacity like some do (Orion). Don't know what it really means know.
