3x 3.7v 2500mAh How many charge time ?

Post by gosbrut »

Hello, i purchased 3 batteries of 3.7v 2500mAh
I have a turnigy charger.
I think charging at 0.5A is good. How many time i need to spend charging for each of this batteries to get full charged (at 0.5A) ?
How can i connect the 3 batteries for charging the batteries in balanced mode (cause i was simply connecting the 3 batteries together to the same output port of turnigy but the charger tel me incorrect voltage) ?
Do i need to charge the 3 batteries at the same time ? or can i charge 1, then the 2nd , etc .. if i will to connect the 3 in series to get 11-12V ?

LiPo batteries are usually shipped with a partial charge. At a 0.5A charge rate, it would take about 6 1/2 hours each to fully charge from the empty state.

It is not a good idea to charge batteries in parallel. It is better to charge them independently.
