Hi,
I'm new to using mechanical mods and I have just received a charger and couple of batteries to get me started but before I proceed I have some hopefully easy to answer questions. I'm using a SkyRC Imax B6 charger and LG LGDBHE221865 (LG 18650HE2).
Using a volt meter my batteries read 3.55v and from what I've learned is that I need to top them up to a maximum of 4.2v, sounds easy right! well maybe I purchased a charger too complicated for my tiny brain. Turning on the SkyRC I'm greeted with a ton of options and I'm confused which to pick. I believe the batteries I've purchased run at Nominal Voltage (V) 3.6v and I believe they are LiIo and not LiPo
So on the Sky RC I don't have the option to charge at 4.2 but I can pick 3.6v does this mean they will be charged at 4.2 or not? Confused on that part.
Battery Details:
Chemistry: Li[NiMnCo]O2 (H-NMC) / Graphite + SiO
Nominal Voltage: 3.6v
Charge Method
Nominal: 1.25A 4.2V, 50mA End-current (CC-CV)
Fast: 4A 4.2V, 100mA End-current (CC-CV)
So question is is LiIo correct or LiPo, do I select 3.6v (as I can't find a option to set 4.2v, selecting lipo selects 3.7v and selecting LiIo selects 3.6v... there is however a auto mode but don't want to ruin my batteries if it gets it wrong.... additionally am I right in charging at 1.25a... or should I just use 4A for fast charge?
