Default Icharger X8 end voltage adjustment

I’m using an Icharger X8 for 1rc racing. We can charge to a maximum of 8.44 volts, but I cannot figure out how to adjust the end voltage to bump it up closer to 8.44 from the 8.37 it ends at now. I’ve looked through the online manuals, they’re as confusing as using the charger in the first place. Anyone have the secret?

Does it really end at 8.37V or does it end the actual charge at say 8.40V and then within a few minutes drop to 8.37V? The latter would be normal, I have to set my iCharger (406 Duo in my case) also to 4.22V or so per cell so that my cells then drop to 4.20V when I go to tech before race start.

Fresh off they’re 8.39, then drop to 8.37. My issue is figuring out how to change the parameter in the X8 for end voltage to 4.22, 4.23, etc to make them settle at 8.44.

I was going in too far, couldn’t find the right screen instead of editing the lipo memory setup I was trying to go into the charge parameters in the next screen, but there was nothing there to change end voltage.
