Battery Charger-MC-3000

k, i get that ross,

zaz, where will you buy?
better shop around, to maybe catch a sale.

Maybe I'll wait a bit. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner.

@susieqz, a mod charge / data cable will get an MC3000 connected to a PC. As it has the all the right connectors in all the right places.

So, for an ignorant country boy like me, are you guys saying it's best to stop charging at 4.05v and only discharge them to 3.5 or 3.6?

It would seem that it can extend battery life somewhat.

Now if our batteries cost far more than they do, or if availability was threatened, it might make sense to do that, but at $5-$7 for readily available cells, I don't see much benefit.

Well the way I have mine setup, cells get charged to 4.18V. I used the cutoff and charge rate to do this.

just saying batteries last longer if you do.
double or triple battery life is more than ''somewhat''.

this charger was expensive.
my idea is money saved on batteries helps pay for the charger.

i use no batteries more than 9 hours/day.
charging to 4.05 does that fine.
