Default ice charger/lipo ?

how would you set up the ice charger to charge a 220mah 2 cell lipo receiver pack?

the ice only does whole numbers like 200mah, and 300mah, etc... so how would you get the extra 20mah charged into the lipo?

If I remember correctly when you set your mah on the charger it is only a setting for safety. It will still charge your pack fully, but if the setting is lower than your actual pack it may stop charging to prevent damage. So you would want to set the charger to 300mah. It will not force 300mah into the pack. If you set it to 200mah, as a safety feature it will terminate at 200mah, just as an extra precaution in case the normal charging routine fails for whatever reason.

You can try that, another way is to set capacity at 200mah and then set the "max charge capacity" to 110% (last line) and that should give you 220mah since 110% of 200 is 220.

Ah yes, I forgot about the percentage! That should work good.
