What lipo? Is it 4v total Or 4v per cell?

[glynnc]

Deans lipo 7.4v total

[Bajadre]

2 cell then gly should be 8.4v fully charged ie 4.20 per cell  could be balancing at the end does take time at end of charge etc

What charger is it? One of the cheap lipo chargers which sometimes gets included free with the car?

 

You should read the lipo guide which is on this site or Google a guide for lipos, that will explain the voltages etc and save any confusion over why the battery says 7.4v but is actually over 8v when charged.

 

*edit- I've just seen your other post, did you start charging the lipo on the nimh setting? Not good.

Definitely worth investing in a half decent charger.

Be carefull with lipo's used and charged correctly they are safe enough but mistreat them and they can go up in flames
