Title: Charging of 2.65 Turnigy Tx LiPo Pack
Post by: amit_delhi on June 21, 2012, 09:33:10 AM
Hi,

Recently I bought a 2.65 Turnigy Tx LiPo pack for my FlySky 9CH Tx, I have a Turnigy 2S 3S Balance Charger. Direct 110/240v Input.

Can I charge this Tx LiPO pack with my charger? Yesterday I tried charging it but after even after 10hrs charging the charger LEDs are not turning green. I check with Cell checker now it showing ALL voltage as 12.6, cell 1: 4.20, cell 2: 4.19 and cell 3: 4.20

Does it take more than 10 hrs to charge this LiPo pack? Is there any specific reason the charger LEDs are not turning green?

Thanks,
amit

Abhay, charger is good when I charge regular 3S batteries, the LEDs turned green after 4-5 hours charging.

Assuming both Battery and Charger are good and brand new, can this charger (image attached) be used to charge this battery (image attached) ?

If yes how much time it should take for the charger to fully charge this battery.

PS: This question is related to both Tx and Battery so not sure if its okay in this section or should go to Battery and Charger section.
