Determining Remaining Capacity
« on: June 14, 2015, 06:20:33 PM »
How do some know just how much charge (I X T) they are "putting back"?  My charger doesn't tell me that.  Perhaps a certain charger for LiPo has an integrator built-in, but the ones I looked at don't have that function.

I have a gadget that measures open-circuit cell voltages, but that doesn't accurately measure remaining capacity.

p.s.  Yes, I tried a "search" and got hundreds of posts.  Would take all day to read all.

Most do, ask for brand names.  I have an ancient Trident charger that does.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Are you pushing stop button before reading the display? When it beeps after charging read the display before doing anything.
