i4 Chewing 30Ts

[Mordacai]

@Jazzman, so far I've just set up programmes. Samsung 30T, Samsung 20S and LG HB6.

Just had a small issue with the 20S batteries ending charge cycle before they finished charging, it's probably just a config issue that needs sorting out.

I had a problem of exceeding max time for C>D>C when I first got my charger. If max time is reached before the program finished the program is terminated. This is a safety feature and I would make sure to adjust this time for greater than the time you expect a program to take, some say to disable this but I just put it higher to keep the protection. Also, adjust the capacity setting to a higher mah than what you expect to charge because that will cause early termination for safety reasons also.

I of course downloaded the data sheets for all cells and entered the end condition cut off, that seems to really help.

On my Drone 250C after charging the Samsung 20S batteries on my Nitecore SC4, it never showed 100% battery even though supposedly fully charged. With the SkyRC MC3000 it's a different matter, Drone 250C showed 100% after a charge cycle.

Really like it so far though.

@Mordacai I forgot to mention, here is a link to well done cheat sheet if you don't have one already.

The rubber waffle grip pad rolls up and hides behind the charger for when I need it. The older I get the less grippy my fingers become. They need a retread.

Aw heck, you just need a little moisturizer

@Jazzman, got the 1.13 firmware version from the SkyRC webpage. Nothing for 1.14 firmware version though.

You should flash the new firmware as soon as possible. They made a lot of changes from 1.13. Here's a link to it.
[Update] MC3000 Firmware V1.14

 

[Mordacai]

Sorry if there's any confusion @Jazzman, firmware is V1.14. Cheat sheet is for V1.13.

I don't think that it will matter though for the most part.

Got it now, and no I don't think there is a difference in the button presses for the charger. But a reference sheet is really handy since I missed many of the onboard features until I got the sheet. While the manual is quite good for a technical instruction manual, it's a lot to take in initially.

@Jazzman you could download the manual pdf, then you can search for keywords on your PC or phone.

The older I get the drier my fingertips seem to be!

It depends on the charger and the cell. All aren't created equal, especially with 21700 batts. You'd think that charger designers would give us a few millimeters more for insert and extraction.

 

[Mordacai]

@DaveP, an inch or a couple of centimeters would be nice. Would make things much easier.
