LiFe charging question
 

I purchased a Life reciever pack for my 1/12 scale and i noticed that My Checkpoint 1030 charger does not have a section for LiFe packs like it does for Lipo and nimh etc.

Any idea if this charger will do the job?
Thanks

If it wont allow you to change the lithium type to Life it should not be used

The termination voltage of a Life cell is lower (3.6v vs 4.2v)

Cheers

I have a TC1030 and I wouldn't use it on a life.

The TC1030's Li-Ion setting will not work -that's for a min voltage of 3.6v/cell to a max of4.1v/cell. Life requires a min voltage of 3.3v/cell to a max of 3.6v/cell. You would overcharge an life using the Tc1030's li-ion lithium setting.


You need a diff charger with a proper life charge mode. Would be good time to get new charger with a builtin balancer as well.

thank you both for the info, looks like im in the market for a new charger

Since you've already got a PS, consider one of the iChargers, has life mode as well as other lithium modes. I've been impressed with my 3010b -

Great charger, I use my icharger all the time.
