Hello all. I received my SMC 4s 7400mah lipo yesterday and I would appreciate any advice on lipos. The charge that the battery was shipped at was 3.86, 3.85, 3.84 and 3.85. I balanced charged it on a 4 button charger. So here are my questions:
1. When fully charged each cell should be at max of 4.2v. I did not let it fully charge since the day was getting late and I didn't want to take too long to discharge the batt. I stopped the charge at 4.0 per cell. Is that ok? I ran the kraton for about 30 mins.
2. I brought the truck in and store charge it. What amp should I store charge it at? The factory setting on the charger was 2.0amp. SMC instructions are to store batt between 3.4 - 3.8v per cell. Does the charger automatically stops when it reaches 3.8v per cell? Should I let the charger finish the store charge on its own or stop it when it reaches the 3.8v?
Thanks a many in advance!
