Revolectrix CellPro PowerLab 8 Help
I've been in RC for many years, but my weak suit is, and always been, battery settings. A couple years back I decided I was done with the (connect/press-start) chargers and convinced myself I could learn how to charge batteries more efficiently. Not so! Admittedly I just don't get it and can't seem to find a manual for dummies. I'm using the CellPro PowerLab8 charger, with Revolectrix 24v/55amp Power Station, and Revolectrix MPA board. Node Wiring on the charger is set to XH/EH because the manual said that the MPA needed JST/EH/EH wiring convention on the balance port.
I am trying to charge a Protek PTK-LF-RX1600-L-2S LiFe pak. It's a 6.6v 2-cell 1600mAH being used in a Airtronics M-12 transmitter. I've charged it before, but never being confident that my charger was set correctly or that the battery was fully charged. I'm using the CellPro CCS software. I edited an A123 2300mjAh Accurate Charge preset and my settings now look like this, but as I said, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Can "anyone" offer suggestions to get me on track? For the pack I'm charging, are the settings in the preset below correct? Preset Settings: Parallel Packs: None Charge Amps: 1.60A Charge Voltage: 3.650v C/Termination: C/20 Sound Beep At: 90% Fuel Level Balance Entire Charge: Yes Cold Weather T.: None Discharge Amps: 2.25A Discharge Mode: Internal/Regenerative Discharge Voltage: 2.80v Cycles: 1 Cool Down: 5 Min End Cycling with: Charge Lock Preset: No I know some of the settings are unimportant, but I included them anyway. Thanks in advance |
hmm so 3.65 v a cell and its 2 cell so a 6.7 volt pack..do a 6.6v pk becomes a 6.7 volt pac

Ok to be clear then, you think all the settings are ok except I should change "Charge Voltage: 3.650v" to 6.7v. Sorry but as you can see I'm clueless when it comes to voltage, amps, etc. Love to find an article/book that takes that in to consideration so I could finally get it. I'll do what you said and try it. Thanks.
