Balancing Lipos
How many amps should I balance a 6000mah 28C Lipo at? Also how out of balance is 4.20 and 4.0? Should I balance his or is it ok?

hi sorry i dont no much about lipos or how to use rc tech yeat but i have a losi 4 cell 5000 mh batty and a core charger but the lead for the balance does not fit can someone tell me how i balance my batty or what to use to do this thanks john could you contact me though my email it is [email protected] thanks

I believe your packs would need an adapter to fit your charger's balance port. Your local hobby shop can show you which one is right for you.

I still could use an answer to my question, since Jon kinda took over my thread.
How many amps should I be balancing a 6000mah 28c lipo at and how out of balance is 4.20 to 4.0 each cell respectivly?

As a general rule, you would charge 1C. So a 6000mah = 6amps. You can go lower, like 5amps as well but will take a little longer to charge.
Looks like it is out of balance (4.2 - 4.0), I have seen tolerances of 4.2 - 4.18 which I think is still fine.

I concur w 1c.
Now, how do you measure each cell like you did?
How do you rebalance if it is out of tolerance? I have an 8000 that will not balance on the charger and I suspect its out of balance.

I'm not an expert, and do not have the high tech gadgets to measure them independently, but I just use the "readings" from my balance charger. Assuming it is correct and within acceptable tolerances for error, that is all I use. I use the imax B5 - cheapo one, as I'm just bashing, not racing.
I balance charge everytime, so the charger will try to discharge each cell to a starting point, then charge (and it will repeat the discharge / charge when it gets closer to full capacity). I ususally get 4.2 - 4.19.

The cels should be within .05-.1 for them to be ok. And you can charge that battery at 6amps. you can go over that but i wouldnt, its not like a nimh where you can charge the battery at a higher amp and get more performance. Higher charge rates only decrease the life of your battery.
