Default Lipo end voltage

When I was last charging my saddles, I noticed that when it had finished the end voltage read 8.30v and not 8.40v. I have not touched any of the settings, any idea of why this would be? All answers appreciated

Hmm. Charger defo set on LiPo, and not LiIo, although then the end voltage would be 8.2v, I think. Was it on Balance charge?

I actually checked today and it is set to 8.40, but it reads 8.30 on fast charge and 8.40 on balance. When it says it is full on fast charge I have to stick it on balance charge until it is actually full. Not the end of the world but really annoying when in a hurry.

Lipo's don't do hurry, like sub c's used too. Balance safe than sorry.

if they charge to 8.4v on balance but wont when not being balanced charge then it sounds like one of the cells could be slightly damaged. never charge more than 2c for safety as a guide
