Is a 1c charge all the time too kind?

**MarkG_R1** · 14-04-2012, 06:43 PM

My 4 nanotechs turned up today and have shown me I won't be using the Eflite ones again

The nano's have only had a couple cycles each but I've been charging them at 0.3 I'm only charging with the stock charger at the moment (waiting for a 6 way adapter) then I'll use my accucell

Should I up the charge rate or leave it at 1c to maximise battery life?

This little heli is the best thing ever, so stable it's unreal, I've calmed the pitch curve down on normal mode to help me out a bit in smaller spaces while I learn orientation

I always do, I use 12 batteries, 6 on charge and 6 charged and in use.
I use 1.8amps every time, likewise my bigger batteries.
They ain't free and I'm in no rush, always time to tinker.

Depends how often you want to replace batteries, I always charge all of mine at 1C and have yet (in 2 years) had to replace a battery!
That's 1S 130mah, 2S 800mah & 3S 2200mah - a mixture of Hyperion, Gens Ace & Ripmax own brand.

i charge my 1000mah 3s nano-techs (only nano-tech packs I have) at around 8c when Im in a hurry and they are fine

This started out as an mcpx question, but if the gods......sorry Mods

Would like to move it feel free as this kind of applies to all

My 2200 gens ace for my 450 I charge at only 1.2 amps mainly because I charge all three over an evening at home not in any hurry usually, but if I'm in a hurry I'll charge at 4.4 amps

Yeh apparently the new nano techs will go 10c fine, not sure I fancy trying it.

So I'll take my time charging then
