[NSRCA-discussion] LI-IO packs

[Scott McHarg]

Morning y'all,

I've spoken to a few people about charging Lithium Ion packs but we did not
arrive at a definitive answer.  I need to understand what the best solution
(besides buying another charger) is for my situation.

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the Cellpro 10XP.  Usually,
it's me giving the help but I'm not sure what to do here.  Here's the
scenario:

 Cellpro 10XP Multi-Chemistry Charger.  The User Manual and everything
about the charger says that it can charge the ION packs.  So, I go to
program a preset for this but in the software, there is nothing that says
anything about ION packs.  There is LiPo, Pb, A123, Ni-Cd, and Nickel
Metal.  I have some ION 7.4V 5200mah packs that I need to charge and a
2600mah pack for the ignition on a 42% Edge 540.  The packs are made of 4
cells but are wired so that they are only 2 (2 in series, 2 in parallel)
cells.  As close as I can tell, I should select the LiPo 2sU (2 cell
unbalanced) but I don't want to make a mistake.  Someone told me that would
be OK and another said that if you program the charger by the charger
instead of the software, there is an ION setting but I haven't confirmed
that yet as it was late last night when I was checking.

Anyone have any idea what to do to charge these packs?

Thanks,
