Charger Settings for Venom Quad Charger?

[geebee]

I recently bought the following charger to be able to charge four Phantom 4 batteries at once.

Venom Quad Charger

Venom makes a charger just for the Phantom 4, but I had trouble with each battery connecting. I exchanged it for the generic charger.

My question is, does anyone have advice on the settings for charging Phantom 4 batteries?
Amps?
Voltage?

Thanks.

I did some research and here are the settings to use:

Set the Li battery setting to LiHV V. Type 3.8V
On a specific charger channel set it to LiHV Charge, 5.4A, 15.2V(4s).

I can now charge four Phantom 4 batteries at the same time. Very useful after returning from a day with multiple flights.

I found these 2 Youtube videos useful in understanding how to navigate the menus on the Venom Quad Pro Charger.

Another advantage of the Quad Pro Charger is that with the right connectors and settings you can charge different types of batteries, for instance Phantom 4 and Phantom 3 batteries.

This device has a bit of a learning curve, but once it's set up it works well.
