Just getting used to my charger above.

Can someone please help me with the following two questions:

-What is difference between charge function and fast charge function, and does it damage LIPO's in anyway or reduce life either one?

-Storage mode how do you set it. I know how to get to it but it only goes to 1.0 as apposed to say my 5000 packs that i charge at 5.0. What should i be doing to make sure the LIPO stores correctly with this function.

The instructions are pants tbh and im very keen not to naker my new LIPO's

I run some 5000 50c and some 4200 35c for clarification.

thanks in advance

unless you are not planning on using your lipos for quite some time (several weeks), you shouldn't need to use storage mode. in-between meets (e.g. 1-2 weeks), lipos should be quite happy to sit there partially charged.

it could be quite a few week hence the need for storage

are you able to adjust the charge rate in Storage mode? I believe it just charges/discharges to a particular voltage...

in storage it has the ability to change from 0.1 - 1.0

when I did it, I just run through the storage mode after my regular lipo use and it was fine.

that was on a "clone" of the predecessor, UAC-30, mind you but suspect it's mostly the same software on-board...
