help Venom Batt problem
 

i don't know how to charge a Venom 11.1v 4000mah lipo 3s what do i set the charger to.To charge the batt thank you

Set the charger to lipo. Then tell it the number of cells which for a 11.1v lipo is 3. Some chargers ask for capacity, like 5000mah. The charger should set the charge rate based on what you've told it.


You'll see the charger set a constant charge rate as the voltage increases. For your 3S, the voltage will increase until it gets to 12.6v (a lipo cell max voltage is 4.2v/cell) and then the current will start to fall off while the voltage will remain steady. This is the second part of charging a lipo. When current gets pretty low, charger will signal lipo is fully charged and you're ready to run it again.

oh my charger is a "Venom Pro"

all good thank you for the help.I haven't used my lipo batts for a week or 2 now so chargeing them up for so racing today.:D

Assume you got the manual, so do a little reading. You set 3.7v in "user set program" for teh volts per cell. Then you start by going to program select and selecting li-po. This is page 9. If you want to balance you need to go to "lipo balance". Once yoiu get info entered, just press enter to start the charge.

I don't have this charger, but its similar to my Accucel-6 and GT Power A610 chargers.

the :weird: was i had the set program in it so yeah i was like WT# so all good

Once yoiu've got it set up, thats the best way to do it. I write the numbers down on the box I keep all the wires in so I will remember it the next time, lol. Otherwise, I'd have to do it allover again.

yeah same i have 3 chargers

1 nick

2 lipo :sneaky:

Yeah, I don't know why, but in this hobby, you seem to collect chargers.

I have 7 right now - Ice charger, a Team Ckpoint 1030, 2 Hyperion 0610is, Accucel-6, and the GT Power A-610 and my very 1st, a DTX Piranha. Then There I've got 3 chargers for AAs and AAAs. Then theres the 4 power supplies as well - 12a, 20a 25a and 42a.

I can charge a bunch of batts at once though so I rarely have to wait for long.

yeah i just forgot how to use my charger because i have bean in nitro so much:smile:

Good luck racing today!!

i melted the slipper so i DNF the last 3 races :mad::flaming:

Bad luck.....I bet you don't let it happen again though!!

no it's the 2nd time it's happend
