the green col. type can charge 3s up to 2000amp. eh?? let say i have a 2600 3s can i set to 2000amp to charge . well may take say time wat are ur your view??

0.7c is the play safe range but try not to go beyond 1c (2.6A)

I use to had that too but it is always good (close to 99% charged)

[dzqv53]

2A for the 2600mAh is about 0.76C, no prob just make sure ur PS is capable of supplying more then the require current.

Time will difinately takes more then 1hr

I find that the prolux for general usage is quite good liao. It is one of the faster charger around, probably because it doesn't charge all the way to 100%. However, it doesn't miss out all that much. I have a prolux and a T15 and most of the time I am using the prolux to charge lipo unless I hv got a few packs to charge in a short time. The T15 takes quite a bit longer than the prolux to charge.

I have heard from some peeps that some higher end chargers take even longer. This is because they really charge till 100% unlike the prolux.

I charge my 3s 1300mah at 1A coz on the prolux next larger current is 1.5A, so far after half a year absolutly zero problem. Yup, so no worries there.

what is the setting for prolux lipo charger to charge a 3 cell lipo 12C 11.1v 1800mah?

Use 1.5A setting for the 1800mAh.

then how to check if the 3's lipo is fully charged?im using the esky stock charger

[Daniel Wee]

I've not used the E-Sky charger myself but if it's a li-po charger, it should have automatic charge termination. One way you can check for a fully charged battery is to simply apply a voltmeter (digital preferably) to the battery terminals and if you read about 12.5V or 12.6V then it should be pretty fully charged.

Now, I don't know if E-Sky comes with a stock li-po charger so just in case, make doubly sure that the charger is for li-po. No harm double checking.
