hey guys,

i did a lot of research on charging lipo's and come up with a monster charger, in which tekno has seen. what i've found out in regards to saving batteries is to not charge them to a full 4.2v per cell. On my revoletric charger, i only charge up to 4.18v per cell. and only discharge as low as 50% or so. With this, i have been charging the same nano-tech batteries at 40A (YES, i said charging at 40A) since last November. i have around 5 cells i have been doing like that. They are all still running like champs! I highly recommend only charging up to 4.18V per cell.

There has been some discussions saying charging at higher AMPs will ruin batteries. I have seem to disqualify that claim. I ALWAYS charge ALL of my cells at 40A. I have seen ZERO degradation.

I also agree with techno, 6S is the best setup IMO as well. 1300kv to 1400kv is perfect.
