4s Lipo needs a charging voltage of 16.8 volt, with a maximum of 60 watt a maximum of 3.5A is possible.

Only when charging 2S batteries (8.4v) makes a charging current of 6A possible.

If you do not know how power, current and voltage are related:

power = current x voltage
Thank you for answering! So it is a limit of the charger, no matter its power supply?
Do you have any idea on why the xbox power supply, despite its greater rating, can only reach 2.3 when charging 4s?
