Thanks for the info - I'm learning heaps but there's still a lot to learn.
Excuse my ignorance but how do you charge the cells individually when they are hard wired into a 2 cell pack? Do I need to seperate the cells again?
I've been setting up and programming my radio and have had it switched on for quite a while. I'm not sure if I managed to get my pack fully charged last time - it did seem to take a while, but when I put it in my radio it showed 7.9V. After 3 or 4 hours it had dropped to 7.4V. I've just put it on the charger again and it's currently charging at 0.8A and one cell is showing 4.20V and the other 4.05V. How close to the same should they be when they are balanced?
