Can anyone please help.
I have a 3S 1300mah 11.1V LiPo battery that I got as part of a RC Crawler kit. The kit also came with a charger from the US which I promptly blew up when I plugged it into my UK socket…So I got a replacement charger from the UK and I am now finally ready to charge my battery. Just wondering, how do I set up my charger?
I am new to the sport and I don’t wanna burn down anything (as I have almost done so before when I accidentally crossed the batteries wires).
I have an Ansmann XMove 2.0 charger. What do I set the charge at? If I remember correctly, the last time I checked the charge on the battery it was at 3.7V, but don’t quote me on this.
How many volts can I charge the battery to?
Any help would be appreciated
 
Most current chargers will ask for:

Battery chemistry (LiPO in your case)
Cell count (3S in your case)
Charge type (charge or balance charge)
Charge rate (I use "1C" rate which would be 1.3amps for your pack.)

The charger will stop when it see's the pack is full, or hit a timer at 120 minutes (2 hours).
