Orion charger can charge at 1C to 3C, if charge orion4800Lipo, u can set it on 1C 4A, about 1 and half hour be full charge. And remember don't and never discharge the LiPo battery.......
We had owned and run lipos for mths and its pretty safe and a great tool for EP leisures ...
Regarding to the charging procedures, there are tons of theories and knowledge spread widely around the gobal webs .. but I used the following settings and deemed get a great balance on both safety and run time prospectives..
1. Lipo 4800 : -
Charging current 4.8A
Charging time; depends on the ultilized capacity .. if u drain the battery till Voltage cut ( LRP Competition - Lipo Auto; Mamba 6.4V ) it required to peak off at approx 60 mins
Run Time approx 10mins + & depends on the gear ratio, power combo etc
Cells selective : - Not required to do anything since ICE is auto detected upto 4 cells and Advantage can ONLY charge 2 cells Lipos
2. Lipo 3200
Charging current 3.2A
Charging time; depends on the ultilized capacity .. if u drain the battery till Voltage cut ( LRP Competition - Lipo Auto; Mamba 6.4V ) it required to peak off at approx 45 mins
Run Time approx 7mins & depends on the gear ratio, power combo etc
Cells selective : - Not required to do anything since ICE is auto detected upto 4 cells and Advantage can ONLY charge 2 cells Lipos
ps... As per all Lipos character, it will milfunction and dead if either cell voltage had dropped below its defaulted voltage ( 6 to 6.4V on both 4800 and 3200 ) but the cons its .. u can charge them as frequent as u can and no discharge or matching processes required..
Regarding to the balancing procedures.. its not a must progress but u may say is NICE TO HAVE .... my opinion is, dont use what is uncertain, otherwise u will suffer from damages or even unexpected accident... catch some user advises from respective official webs .. Kokam's balancing doesnt required complicated device to do the job .. simply get urself a small male plug ( from Air rifle stores ) .. and follow through the followings ( but it works with my ICE only, since Orion is defaulted as 2 Cells charging )
1. Set ur Lipo charger to 1 cell, 3.7 volts & 4.8A charging current , 4800 mah for 4800 Kokam & also 1 Cell, 3.7V but 3.2A charging current, 3200 mah for 3200 Kokam
2. Connect the negative charge lead to the negative battery lead/socket and the positive charger lead to the balancing port, and charge
3. Once peaked off, you then will hook the positive charger lead to the positive battery lead/socket and the negative charger lead to the balancing port, and charge
Its balanced after the said processes, since 4800 got 2 pairs of cells and are in parallel. By the nature of their parallel connection they will ALWAYS stay balanced with each other. Current will flow from the high cell to the low cell so they are constantly in a state of equilibrium. You only have to balance the parallel pairs not the individual cells .. 3200 is rather simple, its a 2 cells configuration ..
The above simple tricks is learnt from a foreign tech websites and works perfectly fine on me .. dont ask me y .. since i am not an expert of any kind, adopt it or not, is a matter of your own call and proven to be " RISK FREE " |
