Have you managed to get a 1C (or above) charge into these batteries?

Have ordered some male Deans plugs which I will cut apart and some PCB spring loaded power pins from Mouser. Next step is to measure the spacing and design a plug which will be 3D printed. This way, I won't have to disable my factory charger. If it works, I'll share the pin types and the plug design.
The Internal resistance of the 'H' batteries seems quite high. The Batteries will not accept a charge higher than 3.3Amps. 1C is 5.8Amps. Even with the fast charge lead the batteries are still taking 90 minutes to charge (from 80% discharged). I was hoping to charge these things at 3C (30 minutes) - not possible.
I think this thread is about to evolve into a "How to put a higher C rated battery back into the Typhoon H battery case" thread.
I think it is about to evolve into "how to put a normal priced lipo in that can multi C charge"!!!
What charger are you using Andyzonk?Have you managed to get a 1C (or above) charge into these batteries?
What charger are you using Andyzonk?
That sound you hear is me pulling my hair out!Sorry - Post #37 is incorrect. I borrowed a 100 watt Charger only to find out that it was a 50 Watt Charger. The Charger was limiting the charge.........Sorry, Sorry, Sorry
Are you selling these adaptors.Haven't checked yet. But I did get it un-soldered.

That was why I asked. Sounded familiar. I've got some pretty large airplane batteries and have to remember to charge them on my higher output chargers.Sorry - Post #37 is incorrect.

About a week ago I messaged Frank at Carolina Dronz on his FB page. I asked him (for the 5th time) when he would have his adapters ready. He told me they are in the process of being mass produced and would have them in "about two weeks." Translation: He will most likely have them by the end of June or 1st week in July.any progress on aftermarket adaptors yet as i need 2 for my charger
that sort of fits in when i will be getting my pro versionAbout a week ago I messaged Frank at Carolina Dronz on his FB page. I asked him (for the 5th time) when he would have his adapters ready.

the stock charger take far too long, we are back in the dark ages again!
i am so tempted to break open my battery and make an adapter to put a normal lipo in this thing.
How is your H battery plug project progressing? It appears to me that using 1.5 male Deans connectors to access the ground and positive connections would not be too difficult, however obtaining, aligning and fabricating the three spring loaded pins used to access individual cells for balancing could present more of a challenge. Good luck and thanks for your efforts.OK. I cut apart a Deans connector and made an adapter. The single flat connector on one side of the 3 pin connectors in GND. The verticle flat on the opposite is the PWR. I connected a fully charged H battery to my LiPo ESR Meter (great tool!) and the pack read 20.1 milli Ohms (or ~5 milli Ohms per cell). Plugging that and the pack capacity into the Lipoly Objective Performance Calculation Tool (Lipoly Objective Performance Calculation Tool REV5.xlsx) as I haven't yet made an adapter for the cell measurements, you get a calculated maximum current draw of 80A (~15C). This seams reasonable given the design of the H and the battery load. Given this, I personnaly see no issue in using the standard safe LiPo charge rate of 1C.
P.S. My Mouser PCB spring power pins have shipped. Next step is to design a plug. More to follow.
