hi all just put my 6s lipo on for its first charge and its showing as being fully charged? is this normal for batteries to come fully charged from the factory? it was reading about 23 volt.

any help would be great

A fully charged 6S battery should read 25.2xxv.

Jan is right, and 23volts/6cells=3.83volts which is normal voltage or avg. Does not mean its charged. Fully charged is 4.2volts per cell (for like the first 20% of pack, 3.8ish volts for the middle 60% of pack and then the last 20% of pack it drops from 3.8 to 3.0; at least that has been my observation with most packs)
