Newbie at this so trying something I have not done before...not 100% I am right in my process...
I have the Spektrum 3S 5000mah 11.1v Lipo batteries and I also use the Spektrum S2100 charger. I notice when charging this battery today one cell struggled to get to 4.2v but the other two cells did. It would get to 4.17-4.18 or so when the charger alerted done. When I hit done this cell would drop to about 3.8 or 3.7 which was strange to see while the other two held. When I began the charge again after being done this cell immediately jumped to 4.14 and begin to move up it was taking a long time so I stopped it at 4.17 before or "if" it would even get to 4.2
So after running the battery today, I thought I would just discharge all the cells to 3.4, and then storage charge it to 3.8 as normal. My hope when I charge NEXT I can get that cell to 4.2 if I can discharge all to the same number and then storage charge it afterward. I have never discharged. The S2100 charger was set to 3.2 discharge but I changed that to 3.4. The Amp rate is 0.2 but I can change that but this is what the charger had defaulted.
What is a good discharge "A" amp for this battery and charger?
BTW - The cells were at about 3.5ish one maybe have been at 3.6 when done running the BR.
