Charger Question

[MarkF]

I have a 1320 mAh 11.1v 3 pack battery and a Triton charger. What should I set it at .6? What does 13Ccont/20C burst(17A/27A) mean? It's stamped on the battery. Thanks

Hi there Mark. I haven't seen the Triton charger but if it has a lipo setting it should be Ok. If it is manual voltage setting (cell count) use 11.1 volts or 3 cells. You can use a current setting up to 1.3 amps unless your pack says "2C charge" where you can go up to 2.6 amps charge.
The 13C cont means the battery is supposed to work without damage at a discharge of 1320mA x 13 = 17.16 Amps continuously. Draw less than this if you want the cell to last long though, or if it is inside a compartment with no cooling.
20C burst doesn't mean the battery will burst    but it is supposed to be able to give 1320 x 20 = 26.4 Amps for short periods.

For long service life of your battery try to charge at less than 1.3 amps, and discharge at less than 17 amps. That 17 amps would only give a theoretical flight time of 4.5 minutes anyway, actual flight time would be less.
