A discussion was on another forum where it was claimed the Life Cycle increment of 1 full life was made if charging from 50% state. I maintained that I had never seen that and by memory considered that near 30% still meant two charges to have a full 1 cycle increment.
I decided to test and ran the tests twice.
Battery 1 (OEM) :
Start %: 37% Voltage total : 14.96V Life Cycle count : 85
Charger finished : 96% Voltage total : 16.84V Life Cycle count : 85
Battery 2 (3rd party) :
Start %: 32% Voltage total : 14.99V Life Cycle count : 42
Charger finished : 98% Voltage total : 17.24V Life Cycle count : 43
Battery 3 (3rd party) :
Start %: 61% Voltage total : 15.38V Life Cycle count : 69
Charger finished : 98% Voltage total : 16.85V Life Cycle count : 69
The Voltage totals did vary a bit between the two tests ... lets be honest a battery board like this is not exactly an AVO meter !
What I find interesting are batts 1 + 2 ... that a difference of 5% caused the change.
My suggestion then based on above - is close to what I claimed ... I admit that my previous statement has an error ... but it was from memory in that region.
All FW are latest for RC, AC and batterys.
