you can read all you want but if you ask the right question from the wrong person you will get a bad result.

how many chargers are set wrong.
i saw at least 5 muchmores set at 18mv on sunday ??
Just to clarify, with the Muchmore CTX chargers only - the delta peak cutoff setting is for the entire pack and not the individual cell like most other chargers. As like what others have stated before, with the MuchMore CTX chargers, only use 03, 04, 05 and 06 as values and do not go higher than this. As a guide, use the ambient temp of the room as a guide if the ambient temp is low (under 25'C - ie. night time racing or a cool day) then use a higher value like 05, 06 if it is above 25'C use 03 and 04. Make sure the thermal sensor is used and the temp cutoff is set to 47-48'C.

These are just guidelines which when I was using MuchMore CTX Chargers worked quite nicely. I hope this helps.

I am glad to hear that no-one was hurt or injured by the exploding battery.

Leonard.
