    charge 2250mh lipo, the computer charger only load 2200-2300mh?

    Hi!

    Another battery question.

    I have bought a New 14.8v 4s lipo battery and it have 2250mh.
    I have a computer charger and i can only adjust it to charge up every 100mh and i charge it now on 4s 2200mh but my battery is 2250, i cant choose 50more mh, the next is 2300mh on the charger.

    Have it anything to say that the setup on the charger is 2200mh when the battery is 2250?

    Thanks for answers

    Whats the issue? Thats just slightly under a 1c charge rate....Might take an extra 2 minutes to charge....
    Think you need to do a bit of reading about lipos before you get into trouble.
    Questions like this always make me a bit nervous when somebody doesn't understand the basics of lipo charging and use.
    If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

      I have reed a lot and i have use lipo for the first time this summer, but i have never charge a battery With 2250 (50) cant be choosed on the charger, i can only set the lipo balance charger on 2200mh or 2300mh.

      If i understand you right, then i could set it to 4500 mh and get 2c charge? The charger will charge the battery full as same of how low mh i set it up for?
      I have never set it up wrong but i have never had a battery With 50 more mh, all others is 100 and 100 if you understand my English..
      If i charge fexample 5200mh i program the charger for 5200mh, I think i understand what you mean :)

        What you are setting is the charge rate not the capaicity, you could set it to 100mah and still fully charge the battery, would take a loooong time though, so If you set it to about 5000mah you would be charging at "2c" and charge almost twice as fast.
        The charger through the balance voltages will determine when the battery is charged, all chargers lower the amperage when doing the final part of the balance charge, usually stops at 4.2v and 1mah.
