Charging & Balancing a Li-po with the Turnigy Accucell-6 Battery Charger & Balancer

***Please be aware that the Mah mentioned on Lipo packs refers to the DISCHARGE RATE of a pack which has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHARGE RATE! ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR LIPO'S & FOLLOW THEIR GUIDELINES WHEN CHARGING!!!*** A brieft description of how to set up the Turnigy Accucell-6 combined balancer & charger and the difference between the "Charge Li-po" and "Balance Li-po" options and how to set them. The instructions for this charger are a little unclear - so I hope this helps. Remember to ALWAYS follow the safety instructions when charging Li-po batteries and always charge them in a fireproof bag or (on bricks or concrete outside etc) surface outside.

I have a 850mah 7.4V battery and now own one of these chargers, but i just found that it doesn't go any higher than 600mah.

Is their anyway around this or do i need to get a new battery?

Thanks

@legalize000 no that is fine... the battery will charge at 600mah... not all batteries like being charged at 1C...(in your case 850mah) anyway...so that will work fine. As long as you have the battery voltage and cell count programmed in properly... it will be fine.

Thanks for making this video. My charger didn't come with a manual and this really helps!

Why do I have to tell it how many cells the battery has. I have a 5 year old LiPo charger, all I have to do is plug it in and tell it how many amps I want to charge it at.

[BikeRider2299]

Why couldnt you use just the charge type. Wouldnt it also balence the cells???
