The pack says on the side, however, 7.4V 5200mah.  Does this mean each cell
of this pack is 3.7V like LiPo?  I definitely see what you mean, Ken, by
chemistry adjusts per cell voltage.  By the way, you never changed your
profile pick.  ;)

All you need Scott is to set a slot into your charger via the software to
set the full charge at 3.3 volt...no need for a new charger.

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,
