View Full Version : Using ICE for a break-in / form charge on battery packs

I recently read a post on here or somewhere that described how to use an ICE charger to do a slow C/10 charge for 14-16 hours. It's easy to set the Amps to something appropriate, set 150% as max charge - but the part I can't figure out is how to disable the peak detection.
For the life of me I can't find that post now. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

DON'T disable peak detect. You will overcharge tha pack if you do. I saw the results of a blown cell last summer. It was a good thing it was at a club race and there were people around to help. The owner was on the stand at the time.

A pack won't peak on C/10 rates. Just set max charge for 150%.

The peak detect cannot be disabled. The 4-step can be used to do a nice programmed c/10 charge. 16.5 hrs max.
