Another Battery Question

[Kozmyk]

So in terms of LiPo's, whats the difference between 6S1P, and 6S? They are the same, just different notation?

Correct.

I have to admit it, i never knew that! I always thought it was a random parallel battery to increase capacity, i just never twigged that if you do that, come charging time, it will be getting a whole load of volts. The 6S2P makes perfect sense though. Well cheers for clearing that up, i think the original question has been answered

[Mslater]

So 6S2P would be 2 x (6 cells in series) wired up in parallel - Total 12 cells

But importantly this is still only 25.2 volts fully charged even though it is a 12cell (22.2v nominal)

(But double the amps)

A cellpro 10s will charge safetly at 3c. However you would need to remove the factory 25a limit iirc via a pc cable, and you'd need a psu good for 30+ amps drAw. I charged my align 2600 packs at 3c at the feild, then 1c at home and saw no adverse affects.

You won't see the effects for a while. At 3c charge on align batts you will shorten their life considerably

Unless the manufacturer specifically quotes a charge rate then do not exceed 1c.

Take a look down YouTube for exploding lipo and for god sake be careful with these batteries - they can turn into mini bombs
