LiPo factory presets
LiPo Generic Accurate Charge
Basic LiPo preset can be used for any LiPo battery. Fuel Table is optimized for generic
LiPo batteries from C discharge ratings up to 20C. Selectable charge rates include 1C,
2C, 3C AUTO or 10 mA to 10.0A manual. Optimization is for the most accurate charging
with termination settings of C/20 and max of 30 min timeout for C.V. mode. This pre-set
requires that every cell in the battery is charged to exactly 100%. If using high C rate
discharge batteries (25C and higher), Fuel Gauge readout may not be accurate and
AUTO charge rate may be higher or lower than expected. Default charge rate setting is
1C AUTO. Max Auto Amps parameter is default to 6A for this preset which means that
unless you alter it, this preset will not exceed 6A max charge rate during AUTO charge.
Other defaults: discharge rate setting is 2A, discharge voltage 3.3V/cell.
LiPo Generic Faster Charge
Basic LiPo preset can be used for any LiPo battery. Fuel Table is optimized for generic
LiPo batteries from C discharge ratings up to 20C. Selectable charge rates include 1C,
2C, 3C AUTO or 10mA to 10.0A manual. Optimization is for faster charging with
termination settings of C/10 and max of 15 min timeout for C.V. mode. This preset does
not require that every cell in the battery is charged to exactly 100%. If using high C rate
discharge batteries (25C and higher), Fuel Gauge readout may not be accurate and
AUTO charge rate may be higher or lower than expected. Default charge rate setting is
2C AUTO. Max Auto Amps parameter is default to 6A for this preset which means that
unless you alter it, this preset will not exceed 6A max charge rate during AUTO charge.
Other defaults: discharge rate setting is 2A, discharge voltage 3.3V/cell.
LiPo Generic High Power
High Power LiPo preset can be used for any LiPo battery, but optimized for medium to
high capacity packs. Also good for balance charging multiple LiPo packs in parallel. Fuel
Table is optimized for generic LiPo batteries from C discharge ratings up to 20C.
Selectable charge rates include 1C, 2C, 3C AUTO or 10 mA to 40A manual.
Optimization is for faster charging with termination settings of C/10 and max of 15 min
time-out for C.V. mode. This preset does not require that every cell in the battery is
charged to exactly 100%. If using high C rate discharge batteries (25C and higher), Fuel
Gauge readout may not be accurate and AUTO charge rate may be higher or lower than
expected. Default charge rate setting is 10A Manual. Unless you create a custom preset
and generate a custom fuel table, we recommend using Manual charge rate settings
when charging using High Power presets. Max Auto Amps parameter is default to 10A
for this preset which means that unless you alter it, this preset will not exceed 10A max
charge rate during AUTO charge. Other defaults: discharge rate setting is 4A, discharge
voltage 3.3V/cell.
LiPo Generic Long Life (4.1V)
Basic LiPo preset copied from Preset 1 above but with end-charge voltage reduced to
4.1V. All other parameters are the same. Use this preset if you wish to have the longest
life from your LiPo batteries, but be aware, your flight times will be reduced slightly. Fuel
Table is optimized for generic LiPo batteries from C discharge ratings up to 20C, but
table is revised to correlate to lower end charge voltage.
