hi, can i charge higher than 1c for smc4000 lipo ??

Our Lipos can be charged at 2 to 3C but I reccomend 2C as this should not reduce the cycle life of the pack. The advantage of charging at 2C is faster charge times.

When charging at 2C on a 4000 pack. I noticed that when you set the battery mah to 4000, the max you can charge it at is 4 amps.
Does everyone just put in the mah to 8000 so they are able to charge at 8 amps ( 2C ) or is there a different way to do it?
Thanks

Depends on the charger. The Hyperion EOS0610i I use will let you set the charge rate to at least 2C (10 amps on a 5000 pack). You don't have to lie to it about the capacity. The Turbo35 would probably let you do that or more.

Some chargers won't allow you to charge higher than 1C but you can trick the charger by putting the mAh at 8000 which should allow you to charge at 8 amps.

I carry 3 batteries so charging @ 1c keeps me running during practice. Those that want to charge 2c with the Ice do just that, put 8000 mah into capacity for 4000 @2c = 8 amps.

The GFX requires a Mah setting. So to charge at 8 amps you must set the mah to 8000 and so on.

The pulsar 3 allows you to charge at any rate you wish....it doesnt have a mah setting.

Those are the only two I know of.

Hi Guys
I recently ordered SMC 4000 Pack but My current Pack is Trackpower 4900 and I've got Trakpower Balancer!
Balancing connections are different as you know
Do I have to do Balance Charge?
or
Is that what I need?
