I chare my Lipos with the standard charger. A B6 is on the way.
What is the max Voltage a cell can take (normally without damaging the lipo by overcharging)? My charger charges them up to about 4.2V each. Sometime when I leave it on the charger over night they still gets tickel charged up to 4.4V each.

An other question is how low can you discharge each cell before damaging them? I have measured my cells after having flown and they are at about 3.6V each.
I have had a broken lipo before and it only gave me a flight time of about 4-5 min whereas a normal one gives me 11min. I charged the broken lipo and all cells were 4.07V. After flying two cells were 3.8V and one was 3.4V. So one broken cell discharged faster than the others.
