Most Li-ion batteries are rated at 3.6v, but these say 3.7v, similar to LiPo batteries. Should they be charged to 4.1v or 4.2v?

As far as I know, they charge up to 4.2V. The 3.6V value is a relative term, as the battery changes voltage constantly while discharging.

I agree with Cpk voltages will change constantly, but I would still confer with the manufacture when possible. My charger charges at 4.2 volts with no problem.

A few months ago, I received a 7.4 900mah Li-ion. Not so sure that .2 would make any difference at all.

The 10.8V and 11.1V Li-ion batteries for computers are interchangeable. The 10.8V can replace an 11.1V and vice versa. Also the mAh don't have to be the same as your previous battery either but the higher your mAh, the longer it will run before recharge albeit also having a little less number of recharge cycles (shorter lifetime).

Often rechargeable batteries (depending on the chemistry) are less than 1.5 v at full charge, as low as 1.2 v, and the rechargeable might be low enough to trigger the low battery indicator, or worse make inaccurate readings, though that should not be the case.

Either will work fine. I leave mine on 500 since I'm usually not in a hurry for my batteries. Add a guideline you generally charge lithium ion batteries at one half capacity per hour, unless otherwise specified by the battery manufacturer.

im not sure if the battery reads the same # battery...not the charger on the more silver side has eb625152VA 1800 maH and on the other side says 3.7 V Li ion battery 6.66

I had a similar situation for which I promptly emailed the shipper and am awaiting an answer. Part of my email to them goes like this: "The original (battery) says: 7.2V 1120mAh 8.1Wh(Li-ion) while the ones you sent have a slightly different label: 7.4V 1350mAh Li-ion". I wonder if the shipper even knows about batteries or just sells stuff. We'll see I guess. At least no one that I've read (so far) says their camera is ruined, other than the one person whose battery is stuck inside. Mine seem to work fine (are easily installed and released) and fit on the charger without a problem.

I can't tell you exactly, because I use it for 11.1 volt 3S LiPo's; one is a 2100 mAh, the others are 1300 mAh. In my case, I'd estimate an average charge time of 1/2 hour for the smaller, under an hour for the larger.

hi&#65292; 4. Voltage: 3.7V 5. Capacity: 5000mAh 6. Chemistry: Li-ion (Lithium Ion)

If you still want to know, buy any brand lipo battery that is 1 cell,3.7 volts, 380 mah. or less. You might need to modify the connectors, but it will work better. If you want any additional power, get a 2 cell 7.4 volts, 180 mah.

My battery is a 3.6 950mAh Li-ion and takes approx 3-4 hrs to fully charge. I have 3 batteries; so I am not reliant on just one. I charge one while using the others. Hope this helps.

I think that it's the output from the battery rather than the chemistry. I used li-MH rechargables, with an output right at 1.3v. You might be ok at 1.4, but you're right on the edge at that point. Also, pay attention to the color change rate. One of the RGB leds being offered is a nice slow rate, and the other FLASHES

Set to 4.2 if your batteries are 3.7v and it will charge slightly faster. Set to 3 if you have batteries lower than 3v.

You need have a proper Lithium ion/polymer (same thing!) charger. They will measure the voltage, and if it is below 3V, it will charge at a very low rate until the voltage is higher than 3.00V, when the standard 1C charging rate will kick in. (for this battery, 1C * 0.38AH = 0.38A) Sometimes you can go above this charging rate if the battery can handle it. After The battery begins to peak at around 4.00V, a constant voltage of 4.2V is applied and the current falls to 0.1C. After reaching 4.20V, the charger then turns off and lets the battery 'rest'. Once the voltage begins to fall, it kicks back in again. You need have a proper Lithium ion/polymer (same thing!) charger.

I have a old battery pack that would not take a charge. it has 18650 F 22 cells (X6) Google 18650 F 22 it shows Li ion cells . . they are 3 volts the voltage protection card limits discharge to 8.4 volts so it doesn't damage the bulb. you are asking me to remember my electronics from 1967 so I am a little rusty but you wind up with three batteries in series X 2 and you parallel the each 3 cell battery to get 6000 ma

16650 lithium ion's work great in mine. Get a good quality charger and batteries and don't leave any lithium ion battery charging unattended. That includes cell phones, tablets, laptop computers, etc. Unattended includes over night.

i do not remember the exact voltage but it is a little under 1.5 volts at full charge. i think all rechargeable batteries are a little under 1.5 volts when fully charged. they work fine with things that require 1.5 volt batteries.
