charge limit about cheali-charger HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi vargasesteban,
what firmware has the Icharger, original or cheali-charger?
Are you using the balance port?

Icharger has the original , o didn't know I can flash my I charger 106b+ whith cheali charger firmware

Ok, this is my personal opinion:
I wouldn't consider this as a problem, this is why:

1. cheali-charger has a voltage limit set to 4.20V per cell,
   In your case the end voltage should be 16.80V totally,
2. at the charge end the battery is charged with constant voltage 4.20V and
   falling current until the current reaches Ic/10 (Ic - set charge current) then it stops.
   The battery has a small internal resistance so when the charge process ends
   the current goes form Ic/10 to 0mA, so the voltage should also drop a little bit.
3. if fact cheali-charger is doing a little better then the ICharger (my personal opinion :) )
   because ICharger exceeded the 4.20V limit, but it's also no a problem because
   the truly voltage limit is 4.235V (voltage above this value can damage the battery)
   all chargers use the 4.20V limit to have some error margin.
4. a voltage difference of 5mV per cell is is approximately equal to 0.5% less stored energy.
