Never used accurate.

I use high power. I don't have access to the CCV program now but here are the key things I set. All the rest is pretty much what they have it set at.

Balancing:

Start at 4v

1000mAh

Only on charge not on discharge.

Termination:

Manual termination set at 500mAh. What this does is regardless of the amp rate you charger at the pack will always get the same amount of charge. So at 2 amps or 40 amps you will get the same charge.

Charging:

4.205V per cell

Use the amp rate you prefer for charging.

That's all I can think of for now.

Storage mode I use how they have it setup and will use a higher amp rate if I'm in a hurry.

Hope this helps.
