Hi, Read extensively to try and understand battery handling/charging, especially on this site.
I have a 4s 5400mah battery. I'm looking for a charger.
If I understand it correctly then at 1C I need 5.4amps or more from a charger, and using watts=voltsxamps, for a 1c charge rate I need over 90watts from the charger. Is this right?
Looking at the commentary on a Venom Pro Duo X2 80w, with a charge rate up to 7amps, they claim 25minutes to charge a 4s 5500 lipo. Is it a charger that is really 160watts because its an X2 - and then only if charging one lipo?
And if I'm right in my maths, should I be looking for 100watts or more given in time higher mah batts will probably be used, or 6s?
What is the optimum power parameters to use?
