Balancing lipos

[gonpostal]

I have a hypereion 606i, do i charge my lipos on charge mode or balance mode. Also when i store my lipos i charge it to 3.85, but when i check on the hyperion sentry device it was 3.75, why is it so off. 1cell is 3.844 and 2cell is 3.833 is this way off? Sorry for so many questions, but thanks for your help.

I'm a BL noob so i'm not 100% sure on your second question but i do know you want yo balance charge, charge mode would be for a 1cell pack (i think) and for storing you want roughly 75%.

how many cycles do you have on this pack? charge it in balance mode and the charger will send less current to the cell with the higher voltage allowing the under charged cell to catch up.

try charging your pack to full capacity, running the car and discharging the pack (couple times) then charge in store mode and check with the sentry device and see if that straightens it out.

ps. charge in balance mode each and every time.

That would probably explain it, I only have 4 cycles. I think 2 times I only charged it half way to empty. But the other times they were full.
