Hi just curious is it safe to recharge on lipo setting of charger?Termination is set @4.2v
Thx
I use it for a few years now, Imax B8+, which is basically the same thing. In the menus under “user program” or something like that, you can set LiIon or LiPo, the difference being in termination voltage: 4.1 vs 4.2.
I have an Accucell 6 and normally use 1 amp per cell.
This thread is about how I use it and charging cradles. https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/22976
you seem to charge all cells in paralel, which is OK if they are about the same level. If they differ much, it’s better to use balance leads, and solder jst-xh connector to every individual cell in the craddle.
However, that could prolong charging time if they are at different levels, because balance currents tend to be quite low, 300-500mA range for cheaper chargers, but if left charging overnight, it doesn’t matter much.
You'll notice that I tried balance charging - and I mentioned that is slower but didn't say how much slower which was up to three times slower in some cases.
As to voltage differences here is a thread from the other place where .5 volt difference is OK between cells with parallel charging http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?161299-Li-Ion-Parallel-Charging
Parallel charging is verbotten with NiMh, but great with LiIon. Heres a thread from the RC guys onthe advantages of Parallel charging http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=932319
The reason Hobby Chargers have balance charging is because it's the only way those RC packs can be charged - Not because it's better than parallel charging.
Balance charging does work well it's just that I like to do it the faster way.
Don’t want to be rude, but have to say that that’s not scientific nor can I see a study regarding effects on cells itself, nor on what grounds is the voltage differential recommended to be less than 0.5V. The ampmeter also probably didn’t detect the initial current spike, and those short term currents were much higher than what you normally charge them.
When you connect cells in parallel, you have no control over what happens with the currents. You could cause damage to the cell, protective circuit of one or both cells, or cause fire. That’s why I don’t do it or would recommend doing it. Lithium batteries are inherently evil and unsafe 
With balancing leads, the charger has control over each cell and I wouldn’t recommend anything else unless the cells are of same type and level of charge.
That said, it will probably be OK in high percentage of cases, but the choice (risk) is yours. The balance leads are very cheap and it takes 5 mins to solder them.
Thanks guy’s for the replies,Im only for the moment going to charge a single cell at time.My accucell 6 which i bought from hobbyking a few years ago does not have the lion setting,So ill be using lipo setting.I fly rc collective pitch helicopters so have lots of experience charging lipos. This is what a 3d copter performs like.3d heli flying Not me flying but im almost as good :bigsmile:I will checkout the links a bit later got a pork shoulder on the charcoal spit.
