PL8 help

[PeteStewardson]

Right so I need to charge my 4 6s 5000mah lipos so I'm wanting to use my PL8 for the first time to do it. Help!

OK so I turn it on but I don't understand how to use it. Do I just select the "LiPo Generic Accurate Charge" program, set 5a as the charge rate and then select how many lipos are in parrallel? On my Graupner charger for my 4s lipos I have to tell it how many mah the lipo is and how many amps I want to charge at. Does the PL8 not need the mah of the lipo plugged in?

A quick start set of instructions would be good as I need them charged before Sunday.

Read the manual... and i dont mean that in a derogitory sense. There is too much functionality try and explain here. The manual has it all with pictures to show connections etc.

But, you might find this bit interesting for creating fuel tables instead of using the presets.

Yes.

No. Not needed.
