Hey guys,
I bought a Turnigy to charge my 18650 Li-Ion Cells.
I have new Samsung ICR18650 3.0A SDI 3.7v cells. (Nominal voltage = 3.7v, manufacturer states maximum voltage = 4.35v Cut off voltage = 2.75v)
The Turnigy settings for Li-Ion Cells is set at 3.6v.
I cannot find where to change the settings within the Turnigy for Li-Ion cells to increase the voltage to 3.7v...???
I understand that the Li-Po cycle charges a bit faster than the Li-Ion cycle to 4.2v cutoff, but the discharge is different.
ie. The Discharge for Li-Ion is 2.5v and the Discharge for Li-Po is 3.0v.
So, using this cell with the Li-Po charge cycle is probably the way to go...as the Samsung cells discharge cut off voltage is 2.75v ?? Sorry, a newbie learning here !
Please advise me if I should use the Li-Po Charge cycle? Am I correct above?
Thanks,
V8
