New pack/charging question
 
I just finished charging my 3900Mah 6 cell pack on my Digital Piranha. It finished charging and only charged the battery to 3656Mah, is this normal or should it have charged it the full 3900??
I was charging on 3 amps and 6mv/c.

Was it fully discharged? And with a new pack you might have had a false peak, so I'd say you're good.

Only 3656... :lol:

You'll be out there for hours.

When it first started to charge it said 0Mah so I assume it was fully discharged.

Yea I know 3656 is plenty:lol:
Thanks

Nope, the charger isn't that smart. But that'd be pretty sweet if it could read what's left in the pack. Any time you hook a pack up to that charger it starts at zero. So I was guessing that there was some life in the cells. Or, it falsed.

The mah meter is nice, but almost pointless. If the cells are warm, then they're good to go.
