Title: Determining Remaining Capacity
Post by: FLOYD CARTER 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.

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