When you look at the side of it how many sealed packs does it have. That is a good place to start.

| Identified on the cells
You can count the number of cells in it. If you are desperate for the answer you can take the shrink wrap off and look at the actual lipo cell. They are marked with their MAH capacity.

I'm 99% sure it's a 2 cell. Not positive because the pack is not in front of me ATM, so pretty much the only way I can tell the mah rating so I don't over charge is to remove te shrink wrap?

If in doubt charge is low. So charge it at 0.5A to start with and just pay attention to the MAH that the charger records at the end of the cycle. To see if how many cells it is whack a multimeter on it. the overall voltage should tell you. Or look at the balance plug. If the balance lead has 3 wires is a 2S, if it have 4 wires is 3s. |
