Radio Lipo???
#1
Just getting into the Lipo thing and I have a Ice charger. Just picked up a Team Integy Lipo and I'm not sure for the settings
this is what it is. Not sure what to charge at. Help would be good!
1650mah/11.1V
2 cell

well, it's a 3 cell (not 2, like you have there), so make sure you have it set at 11.1v.
Lipo - CC-CV
Ice will only let you charge it at 1c, so 1.65 amps or so.
What connector does it have? Does it have a way to balance it?

This how I have it set...Li-po 11.1 1700mah
chg current 1.6A
dchg current 1.6A
dchg volt 2.8 V/C
cut off temp 90F
max chg capa 110%

When you set up lipo on the Ice in lipo mode you set the voltage (number of cells) and then lipo capacity (mah). Use 1600 since you can't select 1650mah. The charge rate can be set up to a 1C maixmium (1C = 1650/1000 = 1.65amps) which is based on what you input for capacity. Since you input 1600 as the closest to your lipo capacity, your max charge rate will be 1.6amps.
The autobalance built into the lipo will keep cells balanced.
BTW, if its 11.1v, its a 3S not a 2S, 2S is 7.4v.

Don't use the temp cutoff - its terribly inaccurate on the Ice - set it at 120F so it won't shut off early - lipo won't be getting hot anyway. Set discharge volts to 3 - you risk puffing (if you discharge on tehIce for some reason) it taking it below 3. I have run many of Integys 2 and 3S lipos in 18th scale, they will puff going below 3. You shouldn't be discharging anywhere except in the tx anyway.
