Charging
Before charging your batteries, it is critical that you determine
the maximum allowable charge rate for your batteries. The RDX2
Mini is capable of charging at high rates that may not be suitable
or safe for your particular batteries. For example, Lithium cells are
typically safe to charge at 1C, or the total mAh÷1000. A 1200mAh
battery would have a 1C charge rate of 1.2 amps.
A 4200mAh battery would have a 1C charge rate of 4.2 amps.
Some manufacturers are o ering Lithium cells that can be charged
at greater than 1C but this should ALWAYS be veri ed before
charging a Lithium battery at rates higher than 1C.
