Tipple's on std charger

[Nick B]

Is there any benefit in using 5c lipos on a std charger,i got 2x accucell6 from turnigy,can i charge any higher than 1c?

[glen_j]

should be fine charging at over 1c although the only benefit is reduced charging times i'd probably only go upto 2c unless the charger supports charging at higher c rates

[Nick B]

Think they will go to 2c,so will half charge times?

[glen_j]

yeah i'm pretty sure they'll be ok on 2c although it won't be half the charging time more like 2/3 of the charging time as it will charge the battery to a certain level at 2c then slow down to balance the lipo. if your considering charging you packs all the time at 2c it would be a good idea to think about getting a charger that does support high c charging as they will look after the lipos a little better

Im happy with what i have,i was just wondering more than anything

Sure others were wondering too,they just didnt want to be the scilly one asking

id just make sure you have a decent power supply, pulling 2C through the usual 5A laptop power supply type wont be easy on it and can actually upset the lipos too, Fusion does a fantastic PS for around £30

i cant get more than 2.3a from my accucel 6 with a decent power supply. can get 7 from my 8 though

I use a 6A laptop type power supply on my Turnigy Acucell charger and although I've set the charge rate at 1C (3.7a) the most I get to on my 3700mah packs is 2.7 amps which is about 0.73C.

Any links to details about the Fusion Power Supply ??
