Phil May Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have a Pro Peak Prodigy charger, it is able to charge NiHm, HiCd and Li -ion. Is the Li-ion the same as a Lipo? I thought I read once that both of these can be charged the same with the same charger. I want to use it to charge a 3 cell 1500 ma lipo - or not!!! Some advice would be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks, B.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yes you can safely charge LiPo with the Li-Ion setting. The charge will terminate very slightly before absolutely full, but not enough to make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Whisky Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 It won't balance the 3S pack though - you'll need a separate balancer as li-pos do need to be balanced regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
