LiFe PO4

[muckymits]

Using my Turnigy charger on my new Headways and the standard setting is 3.6 volts per cell not 3.65, Is it possible to change this and is it worth it for the extra volt on the cell pack?

Not sure if I am getting fitter but these things dont give me a red light climbing hills compared to the LIPo, looks like they hold the power much better.

Hi the Headway cells are rated at 10C continues charge and discharge so if you have 10AH cells they will give out 100A Probably the most powerful cells available You charge them at 3.6 volts but they are 3.2 volt cells if they are 3.6 volts you are over charging them with to higher voltage it will dramatic reduce there life

I have been building e bikes using these cells for 3 years now

This is a big problem so many different values around, headways say 3.65 too then others say up to 4.2. ARRGGGHHHHHH

Morning all

I believe that what Headway says is...Maximum Charge Voltage3.65 ± 0.05V

So 3.6 is a nice number

Hi All LIFEp04 cells working voltage is 3.2 volts
like all battery's you have to charge them with a higher voltage
