I'm following this with interest because, although I don't have exactly the same question as posed above, I am looking for some way to charge the LiPo without using mains AC, i.e. from a 12v dc source.
I have a unit to lift 12v to 15-16v without difficulty, rated at around 6A but I haven't been able to find the correct technique for charging LiPo batteries.
Constant current or constant voltage, or a combination of the two, over a timed interval?
If anyone could point me towards suitable text, that would be great, and if someone knows what signals the red led on he wallwart to turn green, that would be a start!
Thanks
