How many volts do I charge my batteries too?

[Harvey Rowland]

Hello,
Could someone please tell me how you know what volts to charge batteries to?
I have 2 x 5200 3s batteries for my Notorious and i need to put in a volt amount into the charger.
I know the 5200 is 5.2amps but how do i work out the volts?
Appreciate some help on this. Thanks

4.2v per cell is full charge on a lipo.

ok thanks mate - is that just common knowledge or is that something you worked out for my 5200?
sorry only new in the game and don't wont to blow something up
It says 11.1v on the battery?

One cell is 3.7v normal voltage and fully charged its’s 4.2v. So 2s lipo (two cell) is that times 2: (7.4v - 8.4v full). Your 3s lipo then is 11.1v - 12.6v.

Btw your charger should talk to you in terms of cells, so select a 3s li-po balance charge program and it'll know what's the end voltage.

You should charge them at 5.2v it is based of the amps

Please refrain from giving advice about charging and batteries.

The charger should peak them by itself.
