Here are the batteries I currently have. Currently.
- Lumenier 2250mAh; 3S 3 Cell; 11.1 volts nominal; 35-70C discharge
- Charge Settings:
- 1 AMP Charge Rate
- 2 AMP for the field if I want to charge it faster (knowing that will reduce battery life)
- Discharge/Storage Settings:
- 1 AMP
- Charge Settings:
- Turnigy Nano-Tech 1500mAh; 3S 3 Cell; 11.1 colts nomimal; 35-70C discharge
- Charge Settings:

Here’s a good reference for possibly rescuing over discharged LiPos. BE CAREFUL. YOU CAN SET YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE.
