ProTek battery
 
Just got a ProTek HV 2s 4900 Mah shorty. The label says the voltage is 7.6 as opposed to the standard 7.4 2s. Do I need to set my charger to stop at 7.6 volts to get the most of the battery? Car is b6 on turf. 17.5.

Using an iCharger 306b.

Thanks in advance.

No, charge it like a normal lipo. The rule limit for voltage is still 4.2v/cell even if your pack could be charged higher. The advantage of the 7.6LiHV packs is that they typically have a lower ir even when cutoff at a legal voltage.

If you want charge in 7.4 v 1 c charge rate set it at 4.4 amps. Just got them last week it is realy good also storage rate is bit high 3.85v per cel I think check web to sure.
