voltage is 6.6V and peacks at 7.2V
you CANT and shouldnt use Lipo Mode to charge life batteries, you should have either LIFE mode or A123 Mode to charge them. all new lipo chargers have one of those modes.

hope this helps

cheers

Soooooooo life>lipo in every single way? Are there disadavantages though? Sounds like there's no point to lipos if life is this good.
